It is not easy to determine this brand and I cannot give a sure answer.
There were several goldsmiths named Hirsch.
As for the 12, I saw a similar looking brand in Tilsit. In Tilsit around 1900 a jewelry store is called J.Hirsch.
If it was East Prussia, then there was a gold worker in Isterburg around 1850 whose name was Herrmann Hirsch.
I think he could it be.

Now, the 12 Lot-Mark in Tilsit is soy the same like this on your spoon, but it could be that both stamps are made of the same stampmaker.
Insterburg is nor far from Tilsit.
