Scottish Provincial ? Ladles Anchor & Axe or Cross Mark

[orkney]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can please help with the marks on these ladles ?

I was leaning towards Scottish provincial but I've been through Jackson's for both Scottish & Irish marks, and can't find anything similar. The marks appear to be F / cross or axe / B / anchor / P

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Douglas

I would suggest silver plate hallmarks (unless you have tested them as solid silver). You may struggle to find the maker if they are silver plated as virtually every company had its own set of stamps.
