Unknown animal mark on old sterling fork

I have this single fork (6 1/8" long) which looks like a pickle for or perhaps a fish fork. I have searched for the mark and have found things that are close, but nothing exactly like it.

Thanks very much. I was afraid that was it. (Oddly, I have about 16 spoons with this monogram in a bunch of "family silver" and no one can recall any family names beginning with H. )

monogram decipher help

Not a maker's mark question, sorry, but I just cannot figure out what this letter is. Would someone with a more practiced eye take a look and please tell me? (It's on a Gorham soup spoon, C. 1935) Many thanks.

Unidentified diamond shaped silver mark

I hope someone can identify the mark on this sterling bread and butter plate. I'm told it's American. A vertical diamond shape and inside that, stylized letters that appear to be OR or DR? http://www.parkyourpic.com/uploads/d7bb1a1b52.jpg http://www.parkyourpic.com/uploads/158d5cdb83.jpg
