Big compote spoon German

This big and heavy spoon (25,2 cm long) is marked 800, halfmoon, crown, a square with point and then C.W.W & G.
Does anybody know what the letters mean? I think the square could point to Hamburg!?

Hi,
"Mond Krone, Raute mit Punkt, (crescent crown, square with dot)"
Compare with the logo of HSV (Hamburger Sport Verein).
