Re: 18th century? Scandinavian Dog Nose Spoon
This is no way Scandinavian. I dont know where we can put this. But: The Shaft dog nose is in my oppinion early 1700 hundreds The laf - rest of spoon is in my oppinion 1600 dreds. Therefor we have an older style (laf) paired with the newer shaft. That calls for a very traditional smith. The zig zag ...

Re: Help to ID spoon
Sure the type is before --- but it could also be after. They did not produce all at one year, so the manufacture could also be as late as 19XXQrt.S wrote:@Hose
The law of the German half moon and crown was implemented in 1884. This spoon is from an earlier period.

Re: Marks on pipe
the marks look swedish, but look for a mark with 3 crowns. Without that mark this is not silver but plated.

Re: Danish Date Marks Project
This information is general. The silver from Denmark had an undefined origin. The trade knew that the F - for guardein Fabritius - represented fine silver. Not because the silversmits where exectional, but because there was a lot of silver from that period and the style/form was appresiated. Older s...

Re: Who is the maker of this Danish spoon?
I would say its german and marked with the 2 danish marks after import.
The lion inside the (possible) C with an M on top - is fahr from typpical danish.
So import and sold as a silver spoon with silver marks - thats my guess.

Re: Help with maker and age
Preussen conversion is not the right one either. Wiki quate: In August 1714, George Elector of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick–Lüneburg (King George I) ascended to the British throne. Between then and 1866, when the town became Prussian during the Austro-Prussian War as part of the province of Hanover, C...

Re: Help with maker and age
I think you weigt is incorrect. The correct weight is 352,9 gram. The case is that silver = money. And items was used. And treasured. But they also represented value. Therefor the silver smith made a note on the item. He wrote the weight in lod. Lod was the mesurement. 1 lod = 14,7 gram and 24 lod =...

Re: Help with Danish spoon
1. the F guardein was not a silversmith
2. silver content i Denmark 830 - 826 norwegian standard
3. 13,5 danish standard i 1840ties Norwegian 13,1/3
4. the standard was in lod = 16/16 was pure silver the 1000/1000 standard is around 1900
so - no way that your spoon is that old

Re: Help with Danish spoon
in my opinion its from norway approx 1880-1920 826 s + the pattern cry norway. We dont tak value at this page. But as a curiosum, the coin - in case that it was not made into a spoon would (in this quality) have a collector value. Catalog value of 300 EURO. Many coins was around 1900 put into silver...

Re: French silver?
Norway could very well be correct. I can also see the anker.
But most of all design and decoration is very Danish (ie also Norway) arround first quarter 1800.
