Hi Thomas,
Try to capture a large, sharp close-up of the maker's mark only.
I've reorientated your image, such a width will not show on all screens.
Trev.

This one is not in my possession. It's actually from a local auction house in Sweden, I hope it's ok posting.
Best,
T

I'm afraid I don't recognise the mark. A single initial is unusual. Might the fact that the M is off-centre suggest a thin letter such as I in front of it? However, that takes me no closer to suggesting a name. Sorry!

This looks like TM in monogram.A mark not dissimilar is shown in Jacksons (2011 edition) page 127, sadly the maker is not identified.

Now that Trevor points it out I can see the faint bar of the T. Interesting. I still don't recall seeing the mark on spoons and can't suggest an attribution.
