Picked up this spoon which l would describe as possibly Puritan style, the marks nearly got me excited as looking at Richard Turners book thought they might be Dingwell, on furthur examanation they are different plus the only maker registered is A R, so any help please ? for a period inscription of K F over I L 1672 would date the spoon nicely for the style.

Nigel

::::: There were a series of older town marks in Sweden 17th-18th centuries so it's possible the sun is representing a certain town in Sweden. ::::
