Hi,
I'm having trouble identifying the makers of this George III silver ladle. It looks like WK or maybe WR over WF. It carries a London hallmark. Any help would be appreciated. If there's an admin around could he/she please delete my previous post!

Most likely William Eley & William Fearn:

I thought so as well at first but I can't see how the second letter is an E.

Hi,

I agree with silvermakersmarks, the distortion may be due to a damaged punch, or perhaps to later damage to the struck mark.
