Hello Trev Thank you again for your post! Yes All three are matching, but I have a hunch that Gooch might be the closest - as it has a slightly more elongated neck than the other two names. Nevertheless the crown is quite worn and on the other names the crowns do differ so it could be any of the thr...

Hello Trev
That certainly looks likely to be March - with the initial "M" too. What would explain the coronet around the horse's neck be - would this mean a different strain of the same family?
Thank you

Thank you JLDoggett for your prompt response. I have had another look at the spoon again, but it is very worn. Out of the crown/coronet options the Duke does seem most likely as there are definately no balls of any sort - and if anything the crown looks like it might have leaves. Also forgot to ment...

Teaspoon 1795 - GS over WF - Deer on crown motif?

Hello again 2nd Post on the forum! I know this one probably is only good for scrap and not overly exciting but the crest might make it a little more interesting? No town mark so assumed London 1795 (Duty mark George III) GS over WF for George Smith III and William Fearn. Apologies it is quite worn. ...

It has a crest of what looks like a crowned deer, someone suggested that this might have some sort of royal connection to Devon/Devonshire - however that I am n...
