The 3rd stamp is the lion passant.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Always embed your images:

Your forks were assayed at Sheffield in 1815. The 1815 date letter 'O', which combines the Sheffield 'Crown', is struck upside-down. There is no maker's mark shown, this is not unusual as this was often struck on the tang of the fork, and thus is no longer visible.
