Hello Dimitry,

Cast spoon, great quality made in Amsterdam, the (hall)marks are located right side of the spoon's rat tail and not often seen. Both sides of the spoon's stem are well worked and decorated.

The three Andreas crosses, the town guild mark Amsterdam.The lion rampant in in crowned shield, standard mark for the province of Holland to indicate 1st standard (grote keur) silver .934 fineness.
