Agreed Phil - maybe some similarities, but not sufficient to be a contender.
Silvermakersmarks website - what a fantastic resource, use it all the time!
Many thanks again for your help.

Re: Help with Danish spoon
Good afternoon Jose and AG Thank you very much for your comments. I agree with Jose that the spoon is more likely to date from around 1900 rather than 1830. The design of the spoon looks like 1900 to me and I have had a number of spoons in the past that have had bowls made from old coins and they ha...

Re: Help with Danish spoon
Thank you Hose. Interesting comments on the coin. I had not considered its value (or non-value!!), but it is nevertheless a nice looking and quite large and heavy coin. Regarding the spoon, I have found a letter F in Boje's book on Danish Silver marks, for assay master Jacob Fabricius dating 1827 - ...

Re: Help with Danish spoon
Yes, I see what you mean. I have looked at it under a strong magnifier but unfortunately, it does not reveal anything.
Many thanks

Help with Danish spoon
Hi All, can anyone give me more information about this spoon? I presume it is from Denmark as the bowl is formed from a Danish 4 Mark coin of 1681. It is hallmarked to the back of the stem 826 (silver standard?) and a F in a circular stamp. It is 13cm long. Many thanks John https://i.postimg.cc/Dm0R...

Re: Unknown hallmarks

Tests as silver. Many thanks John https://i.postimg.cc/3dhbCR17/paper1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/BtHVKDxM/paper2....

At the end of the chain is a cast swan or some other bird's neck. Owners initials engraved to back of the bowl. Total length 18cm...
