Can anyone help with this mark? It's odd because it doesn't have a city mark. Is this a fake?

Thanks for considering!

It looks like a genuine London mark to me. The town mark was frequently omitted on smaller items at this period as a fraud prevention measure. The hallmark could not be cut off and transferred to a larger piece of substandard silver because large pieces would have had the assay office's town mark.

The maker's mark seems to have been partially lost so I am unable to identify it although it appears to end with L or start with T.

Thanks, Phil. You definitely taught me something I had not known about! Much appreciated for taking the time.

In hopes of helping the next person along, these spoons turned out to be Thomas Dicks, London, 1808.
