Edinburgh Spoon 1768 - Bird on Snail

This is from my only Scottish piece, bought it just because I liked the crest. It was made by William Dempster, date letter D for 1768 Edingurgh. Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Pete

Aside from the crown, sure looks like a match. Maybe some Barry was ennobled along the way. Thanks for your help.

Irish Castle & Dragon Crest

Hello Everyone,
This crest is engraved on a James England spoon that was made in Dublin in 1820 and also marked by M. West.
Looking forward to hearing responses.
Thanks, Pete

Wow, don't know what to say! I'm amazed that something that's eluded me for years could be answered so quickly and clearly.
THANKS!
Pete

ps. I have a small collection of Irish flatware, many pieces with unknown crests. If its OK, I'll add some more questions over the next few days?

Mystery item, Italian

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can identify this item. I was told it is 18th century Italian and a cloak fastener. The mark is Italian, but I don't know its age and cloak clasp doesn't make sense to me. Anyone know? Thanks for your help.
