Hello, I have a spoon from Breslau/Wrotzlaw made by Christian Maximilian Schmidt from about 1740. On the handle of the spoon is an additional mark "G". Has anybody an idea about this mark?
Best regards,Ringo

The letter G could be a second Stempelmeisterbuchstabe for probably Christian Beyl 1761-1776. The letter D stands for Christian Schlencker 1737-1745. But I don't know why there are two Stempelmeisterbuchstaben.

Hello silverfan,
I thank you for your information.
The both assayers letters "G" from Beyl looks different to the mark on the spoon (Hintze, Breslau, plate II 35, 36).
Regards, Ringo

Hi,
Could the supposed "G" be a "C"? In that case the C should stand for the period 11.1727 - 10.1737 (according to the Breslau Silver Marks from 1539 to 1945 by Wojtek Mencel).

Yes, the assayers mark is the "D". But what could the 3e photo in the top mean?
