Three Saulgau Twist Handle Demitasse Spoons

Greetings All:

I have the three spoons & the marks are not very good. The second picture is clear enough to make out the three spire castle with 69 under it, Saulgau.

The assay marks are all illegible but I'm guessing 12/16 or 13/16.

The last picture has a legible maker mark & I certainly appreciate any help in identifying it.

Thanks very much

Hello.

I believe those are Danish marks.
Assay Master Simon Groth 1863-1904.

Thank you.

By golly, that looks even closer that the Saulgau mark so it would be from 1869 & the maker looks to be Simon Groth but he was only six in 1869. What would the center mark be?

I' confused :-)

You're welcome.

Simon Groth was the assayer from 1863 to 1904.
The middle mark would be the maker's mark.
