Hi
We are searching in Switzerland, which makes sense from the style of the spoon and the marks. However, it is difficult. Vevey rules out, the city marks from there have a crown above the W which is integrated in the stamp. We still have Winterhur with a W as city mark, and as mentioned Wil. However, the IG, wich is probably the makers mark does not fit. I wonder what the mark is above the W. Is this the City mark? Can we have a better picture of it? Probably it is partially worn. Can you study the mark and check with the discoloration how the complete mark looked? Maybe make a sketch?
I hope this mark gives a clue. And we may need to serach outside Switzerland.
Regards
Jörg

My dear, what happened to this poor spoon? Rough file marks and all these dents. Was it never finished by the silbersmith?
I agree, the thing above the W seem to be a crown. So Vevey is in the game again. However, all Vevey marks I have references have the crown and the W integrated in one stamp.

Is this silver at all or a copper alloy? Billon?
