Georgian or Victorian Fiddle Ladle w/Unusual Marks

Hi,
This one has me stumped; it has unusual marks but appears to be solid silver, circa 1800-50, and seems too light at 7" and 49 grams to be CES or Caribbean. Hoping someone has come across similar marks before!
Thanks,
WesternPA

Thanks! Another mystery that perhaps will not be solved (sigh).
