Help in makers mark identification antique 950 silver spoon

Post by dmstb »

Would really appreciate help with the makers mark identification of this antique French 950 silver spoon. It is marked with the Minerva Head and number 1 indicating French 950 silver from 1838 to present. It is also marked with the letters E and B with a crescent moon above each letter and what looks like a sort of spear in-between the letters - in a diamond shape mark. I have spent hours on google without succes in the identification of this French silversmith.


Thanks so much for your input.

Hi,

To me, your images are now showing. It may be that the photohost has a temporary problem.
