Good Day
Found this spoon online. Sellers thought it was plated but I thought the quality was too high. With some cleaning and research I found it to be a 835 Dutch silver spoon by Koninklijke Van Kempen & Begeer. Any idea what the age would be of this spoon?

Dankie
Jannie

Hi,
If small, it`s salt - pepper spoon.
The attribution is correct.They are still in business, take a look here (the mark is on the left).

Btw. sward with numerals indicating fineness has been used since 1953.

Hi Jannie

The version of the sword mark on your spoon was introduced in 1953 and the merger of bv Koninklijke van Kempen & Begeer occurred in 1960. The makers mark on your spoon was in use from 1960 and according to the info provided by our knowledgeable Co Administrator Peter, until 2008, so your spoon was made somewhere between these years.

Thank you all for the comments.
It is a teaspoon and weighs about 15 grams. The deer (takbok) looks perfect from all sides so it must be a very good maker.
