With the information in the two responses to my post, I have confirmed that the spoons are Dutch 835 silver in the Twisted Hilt-Open Crown pattern by H. Hooijkaas/VKB. I found other flatware in the pattern that had been sold on internet auctions in years past. My mother and sister, who kept the fami...
Thanks for the two rapid responses. I'll see what i can do to get a better image. I used a digital camera; but maybe I can rig up a way to take picture through a magnifier.
I have 8 silver plate demitasse spoons that I cannot identify. The two maker marks are too small to make out any detail using a loupe and I have compared their shape with all on the website and found no match.

This is a Sheffield nutspoon that was in my sister’s silver chest. It has only the initials S.G. The sole reference with these initials is to the Silver Guild.
