Hi,

A crest of a bird of prey beneath the motto 'Dread God':




This one was noted on a piece by Koch & Bergfeld of Bremen.

Any thoughts appreciated.

That's MUNRO the Nova Scotia Baronets of Foulis. (Rosshire, 1631) An Eagle, close, proper. Kind regards.

Hi Nobilityhouse,

Many thanks for the excellent information, it's very much appreciated, as always.

Hi Trevor,

for comparison with your spoon,here is a later version of the Munro Crest,
on a Hugh Ross serving spoon circa 1775 from Tain.
This also has a letter M under the crest, presumably for Munro.
