Re: Silver spoon
Year letters varied from town to town so there isn't any standard font for the letters which would have significance like in English hallmarks. For example the letter and the number could have been punched separately far from each other and in different order (like 2 Y), sometimes V and W were used interchangeably, and there are even examples where the letter is punched in mirror image. So basically you can expect to find numerous variations especially with older items.
