Please help find out the silversmith and a more accurate time of production of spoons

Hello!
I have very fancy 18th century English silver dinner spoons (258 g, 19.5 cm). Please help me find out the silversmith and a more accurate time of production.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I think I have seen date letter p for 1750.The search was narrowed based on the shape of marks.Initials of the maker are not clearly seen and if the first letter is obliterated it is difficult to decipher.Fortunately, you have six spoons;try to find one where both letters in maker's mark are clearly seen.
The engraved decoration is 19th century ``embellishment`` by the Victorians.
Regards
