Thoughts on these teaspoons?

[bstaunto]

Hi everyone,
I purchased these spoons a little while back and was after people's thoughts about them. The only hallmark is a maker's mark of DM, and the only one I can find closely resembling it is David Marshall, Edinburgh (that's why I've posted it here). But he only registered his mark in 1790, and I would date these spoons about 1750 (from the hanoverian pattern and also the monogram being on the underside of the spoon).

What do other members think???

Thanks in advance.

I can't really help much, but I suppose any reply is better than none.

I agree that they are probably Scottish, going by the style of the monogram.
I disagree with you on the date. Looking at them I would say c.1775, but that's still too early for a 1790 registration. Of course, there are no hallmarks, so it's possible that he was making spoons before this date and not bothering with the assay office.
