This spoon came to me with some family items. In researching who it may have belonged to I first tried identifying the origin. This led to two questions:
1. It appears to have been made by John Graham of Edinburgh who was known to work from 1805-1809 however the shields for the thistle and year letter look more likt those of 1835.
2. The maker's mark has been struck over the city mark, something I would have assumed to be improper.
The spoon tests to just better than 925/1000. Can anyone shed light on these to issues?
