Lancet form spoon in 13 Lot fineness with maker's mark H.W
Hello Hjulben
To have not sufficient patience, doesn’t change by every bodies will an object of maybe German origin to one of Denmark, or Norway, or some where.
I suggest to you — for first aid — look to:

http://www.925-1000.com/Fnorway_marks.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Only to understand this a little bit, to find out origin’s place, maker, time range to be made and maybe many more.
I guess your spoon could be of German origin, made in a time and place when and where guilds were closing down.
Read a little bit e.g. on Hamburg guild: http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19040" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
From style of your spoon — lancet shape — it is a style are actual long time range, especially in 19th century.
Spoon is made from silver alloy of 13 Lot fineness (13/16 = 0.8125/1,000). This signification is also that your spoon was made in an economically normalized time (without depression or war).
Any town mark of a warden is missing. That signification is that your spoon could be made in — at least — some hundred German towns.
Maker’s mark — seem to me — is struck twice: First struck was made on one’s head, then after struck again — as it is now.
Now it would be a little bit tricky to find the silversmith with this mark: H.W (in a horizontal rectangular frame)
Maybe you start now to understand only a little bit the complexity and learn to have patience?
Kind regards silverport
