Only 3 hallmarks including a duty mark ?

Hi: Ony 3 hallmarks with a duty mark seems to go against convention. The manufacturers mark closely resembles London manufacturers Francis Butty & Nich Dumee (18th century) a square stamp with letters in each quadrant. The duty, date & lion passat seem most similar to that from London 1810-1811 but no leopards head. Anyone? Not sure if pic's were attached, I tried my best. Thanks !!

Hi Miles: It is a teaspoon. Was not able to include my pic's of it. Not sure why. Thanks Ian

Hi Ian,

It's usual for teaspoons of this period to have such hallmarks. From the pictures you sent me I can see that it is 1810, but I can't make out the makers' mark.
