Hallo Theoderich,

it looks a little like Northeim? But in the city arms is not a griffen but a lion and the letter "n".

Hallo Ringo,
it could be a "n" or a 12.
I do not think, that this spoons are from Northeim. I think they are from the prussian region.

the makersmark looks like the makersmark from the Berlin goldsmith Heinrich Gotthilf Lercher (born 1803 in Weißenfels, oo 1831 as gold- and silverworker, +7.2.1873)
Ref. W.Scheffler, Berliner Golschmiede, no.2057 #424

but is is not the Hallmark of Berlin and not from Weißenfels

I have the same Makersmark with the Hallmark of Marienwerder.
Marienwerder is near by Dirschau.

I think it is the hallmark of Dirschau. Have anybody an old adressbook of Dirschau (pl.Tczew)?
