I stand corrected but i belive the 2nd stamp is of George III
The 3rd stamp is the lion passant.

Re: Identify unusual british hallmark
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.
