Does anyone recognise the marks on these salt spoons?

Hi Miles,

I believe that head mark is a guarantee mark for 833/1000 silver, it was introduced in 1826 and used in Scilly, at least in the town of Acireale. As to whether the mark was used elsewhere in Italy, I'm not aware.

Regards, Trev.

Thanks Trev!
