Does anyone recognise these marks found on a c.1840 dessert spoon?

Hi Miles,
Think that's Francois Sasseville of Quebec. Let's hope that someone more knowledgeable about Canadian silver can confirm or refute it.

One of Sasseville's marks taken from a dessert fork featured in 'Quebec and Related Silver' by Ross Allan C. Fox:

With the exception of the final full stop, the marks look remarkably similar.

Thank you, Tom and Trev, for solving this one.
