Thank you very much for identifying the makers mark I must of looked through that list half a dozen times and missed it. I have no idea what the mark is supposed to represent do you know?.
Also its interesting that you know that the Pattern is N° 2350, designed by Robert Bachmaier (b. 1869, date of death unknown) around 1910. Can I ask how you know this or have you a link.
The spoons were purchased by Franz Bergmann ( see initials FB on the spoons) Who was my wife's grandfather the spoons were passed through the family down to her.
Regards and thank you
Derek

Hello, the mark is supposed to represent the Bavarian lion sitting on top of the coat of arms of Krumbach, a small city in southern Germany, where the company still resides today. As it is so difficult to recognize, the mark was changed to the ligated GR documented on this forum. The pattern was first exhibited in Munich in 1912 and published that same year in the periodical “Die Kunst”, vol. 26, p. 517. The designer’s first name was given erroneously as “Jakob”, but it is known from other sources that it was actually Robert. Best wishes, Bahner
