Multi-marked (MG, WB & BS2) apostle spoon. Old continental s

Hello I recently obtained, as interesting, the 9 centimeter long probable apostle spoon shown below.
It does not obviously appear British silver or silverplate. I believe it is a silver spoon but I am looking to the forum to give a more definitive view. On the assumption it was silver, I reviewed “925-1000”’s figural world marks but found only a few possible places of origion for the spoon. Germany was my most likely country of manufacture though I would be easily persuaded to any other group of silversmiths.
I hope the spoon photo raises some discussion for forum members and gets me some enlightenment.
Yours
Fishless (possibly Clueless).
p.s. I will say sorry now to the administrators if this post is in the wrong group.
