I am not sure that this is even Irish so excuse me if I am off. A DE in a trefoil cartouche, both spoons have the same double crown (harp?) mark and a date mark M. I am new to the forum and having problems posting pics so please bear with me.

thank you.

These are not Irish but where they are from I do not know. Hopefully someone else will.

the piece is Dutch and the city mark is for Utrecht. Peter, (OEL) will know more.

Twice the town mark of Utrecht (= town mark Utrecht+province mark of Utrecht) to indicate first standard of silver or 934/000 fineness.
