I would like to know if it is possible to tell who was the maker of this spoon. I believe the altermann is Johann H. J. Wienicke 1857-1865.Also is it 800 or 830 etc.
Here is the picture.

It's mark of Alexander Ferdinand Lux, active in Hamburg c. 1839-1864.

Thank you for this information! It is amazing when someone gives you the answer, then it seems so obvious. We thought it said Linx or Loac. Here is a photo of large spoon.
