Hamburg Germany? VIOL + Z Makers mark

[IowaDigger]

I found this spoon while metal detecting in the mid-west of the USA. I have searched many places for this mark with no luck. I have found 'Z" mark. At this link: https://www.925-1000.com/Fger_hamburg_01.html
Any information is greatly appreciated!

Hi,

If my understanding is correct, that is the mark of Johann Heinrich Friedrich Viol of Hamburg.

I'm sure another member will add further information.

Hi,
Viol was active until 1843, so, the period matches the "Z" here, which is from the second cycle, used by assayer Johann Christian Daniel Weyergang 1826-1837.
