Hi,
This 1772 scroll back Hanoverian spoon has me stumped re the maker, can anyone make out anything legible with this mark?
Regards,
Martin.

Hi Martin,
I would go for William Turner (Grimwade 3353), a known maker of picture back spoons.
His punch, chipped and worn out, lasted just long enough to see him out, he died in 1772.
