Coffee spoon (~8g), hallmarks hardly visible

Hey all,
I have bought a small silver spoon from Germany recently. I really would like to know where and how long time ago it was made. The entire object weighs 8 grams and is approx. 10 cm by length. At the first sight I thought it does not have any silver hallmarks, though by closer look I have observed a faint "A" in a square (see the lower mark in the 4th image) with one distorted hallmark right above it. I could not make clear photos of the hallmarks but I really hope that somebody can provide me an identification of the spoon through at least its style of engraving and the photos attached. Though I am not sure, I could place the date of creation to about 1900. But I don't know the country and exact style either. I would be glad for any kind of help. Thank you. :)
