Had this spoon for a while but never could get a positive ID out of it:

- Spoon feels and tested solid silver

- I don't think its sterling, but probably a lesser alloy

- Don't know where its from, but the markings make me guess European of some sort

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks! Based on that looks like its the "Leaf/Shell" pattern introduced in 1850 according to this ( http://www.chineseargent.com/home/albert-coles-patterns ) thanks again!
