I copied the link, brought it up in opera browser instead, as opera (my version) has a tool to enlarge photos just by clicking them, it is definitely a v for 1895
The date letter looks the gothic v for 1895, but the marks are small, could you post a close up photo of the hallmarks (using the macro function on your camera, if it has one)
To add photos Browse to select the file you wish to upload, then use the upload now button, when that is done, under 'grab your code' copy and paste 'IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards' in to the thread or paste it to notepad if you need to upload more files, basically repeating, just remember...
Thanks for the reply David, the spoon is of a salt spoon length, 10.5cm, forgot to add before, the spoon is by George Smith and William Fearn, dating to 1799.
