I recently bought this little silver fork I see that it’s 900 silver and dated 1922 but can anyone tell me the assay office? It’s a small fork of only 14cm long, not sure what it would have been used for? Anyway my first piece of Egyptian silver.
Matt.

Probably a "youth fork" based on the general size? A fork made smaller for the hands of a child?
