Hendriksen Spoon 13 1/3 Loth Mark

Hi everyone. Any help on this maker and the timeframe would be greatly appreciated.

The mark is unclear but it is not a Scandinavian mark rather from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A Diana Kopf 800/1000 from 1867-1922...

The mark inside the little cartouche that you describe as the Diana kopf is merely the letter 'T', and is not typical of the Austrian marks I know. In other words, no Diana head in this cartouche. I definitely agree, it has the Austrian shape though.

the Shell is typhical norway.

Th diana mak is not diana, but Trondheim.

Well this pattern is typical in almost every European country. Anyway, thanks Hose, I found him. The spoon is after all from Norway but not Trondheim. The town mark is a flower with a capital T inside. That is Troms/Tromsø in northern Norway and the spoon is made by Henrik Martin Hendriksen, born 16. 2.1847 in Tromsø. His working period was around 1870-1894. He is know to have made spoons and tableware.
