Serving Spoon Maker/Manufacturer Identification

Frankly I don't have high hopes about learning anything about this spoon. But that's alright because if I do it will be all the better.
Sterling is the only mark.

I find it shown as Frederick R Reichel Silver Flatware, Gothic Pattern. Haven't had time to research any further yet.

Re: Roberts & Co

Thank you! I came across the name you have suggested, but never with Robert’s alone. The P Star mark would have remained a complete mystery for me.

Re: Small Knife in Case

This knife doesn’t look like something I would imagine using as a toothpick either, but by the same token, what metals are used to make dentist’s implements?

Looking for help identifying the maker of these napkin rings. The mark resembles an S, a D and a G with a symbol in the middle of the letters. Thank you in advance for any ideas or information.

It would be interesting to see the town mark for Egypt which I presume is in Buckinghamshire.

Re: W & H 228 S Napkin Ring

I have a couple more questions about this napkin ring. First of all I'm looking for a name for the type of script used for the monogram, and secondly is there a proper name for the banding at the ends. I've seen banding like it called arches, but does anyone have a specific name for this design ...

Re: Unknown GA Mark

Thank you for all your effort Aguest. Here are a couple more images that may be useful. One of them is of the shoulders of this spoon just because the tips appear to turn away from the bowl.

Re: Unknown GA Mark

The last mark also looks like GA. It’s turned upside down from the other two. I don’t see anything that makes me think it’s cast. Although it is not a particularly thin spoon even with all the wear.

Not sure which forum this entry belongs in. And of course hoping for the maker’s name.

I will presume they are sterling until testing proves otherwise.
This seems like a bit of an overly optimistic assumption to me.
Thank you for the image of the markings that I should be seeing.
