The piece is not marked but from what I can tell it is Dutch in origin and can date anywhere from the late 17th to the late 18th century. The tines are steel, the ferrule and cap are silver and the handle pinkish agate.

Perhaps once part of a (shagreen) cased Dutch travelling knife and fork set. Thanks for showing.

possibly, this is the only piece I have though sadly. I would love to have a matching knife and spoon though.
