I recently acquired this Friesian silver spoon with a possible upside-down mark. I have never seen an upside-down mark so it probably isn't. Either way, I am not sure of the maker. Any help would be appreciated!

I forgot it looks like the upside-down mark of Sneek silversmith Rein Clases Regnery but as I said, I've never seen an upside-down mark so it could be a coincidence.

Thanks, Peter, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure since the mark is upsidedown.

Re: Friesian silver guard soldier spoon
definitely a long shot but I wonder if there are records of town guards for Sneek c.1715?
Re: Friesian silver guard soldier spoon
Yes there probably are, just a matter of searching & finding. Sounds easy but......
