Hi,
Or vice versa.
Finnish spoon is dated ‚‚F6‚‚ meaning 1935, right ?
There is a possibility Joseph Kopf copied the spoon adding Estonian lions (‚‚in the thirties‚‚).

Correct 1935 and Helsinki (the boat)
And yes, an interesting question, who copied who? Anyway, very nice spoons.
But dog medicine spoon!? Nonetheless, would it be possible to see a sharp copy of the Finnish maker's mark Viri. On the picture it looks like Wiri with W!? If that is the case, it is a never before seen mark. That's why I'm interested...

This is the best from the link.
I think it`s VIRI
Slight imperfection in the first letter, but not W.
