Re: Are these Bernard Meldahl - ENAMEL TEA SPOONS?

Yes, this is the pattern of Bernhard Meldahl (obs Bernhard). His workshop in Oslo made them and may be Adolf Ruud in Drammen sold them.
What do you mean with "Era"?

Re: Norway 830 silver mark - spoons

They are made by Th. Marthinsens Sølvvarefabrikk in Tønsberg.
The pattern is called "Oldemor" (grandgrandma) and they are still in production.
