Hello. I have 2 spoons like this, and they have only one mark on each of them.
It is I guess an N, unless it is a Z,
3 1/2 inches long each.
Any info. would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Going through some hallmark databases, I found
Christian Peter Naeboe, who used the N in a circle, but can't find any examples of his work.
Any thoughts?

As Christian Peter Næboe was a danish silversmith from Copenhagen and later assayer of Copenhagen (1823-1831), His works would most definetely contain the town mark of Copenhagen. Therefore I do not think it is his work, although is looks like his assay mark. There should be at least two other marks, if it was to be connected to him.jacksonsvl19l wrote:Going through some hallmark databases, I found

The mark of the assayer is the guarantee of the assayer that the silver content is at least 83% percent.
Best regards

Maybe N in circle is Nurnberg City Mark? See http://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks_b1884_5.html

That's what I had originally thought as well. Thank you for the reply.

Not every N is Nürnberg. Most probably Hanau, and both Augsburg acorn and Nürnberg were faked or made elsewhere in the style of German Renaissance silver. In a word, it is NOT old Nürnberg.
