Curious Russian Silver Spoon?

[the_nosferatu]

Picked this little beauty up the other day,cannot for the life of me discern the maker/constituance markings, i believe it to be of russian origin,any help would be greatly appreciated. my thanks in advance.

Forget Russia, not in a million years. It looks like over stamped or very badly punched marks. Probably imaginary marks.

yes i see the double stamping of cartouches to the spoon bowl, i think they look like moscow markings in a degenerate way,i have tested the spoon for silver and it comes up trumps,, its a nicely made piece for a faux assay if you are correct in your assessment, thanks for the pointer :-)

Hi -
maybe post under "Dutch silver" - could be one of the Dutch "reproductions".

At your service but do not blame the Dutch. We never ever over struck our famous pseudo marks. We did it right the first time. I still believe it could be Russian and done a few months ago.Just joking!!
