This fiddle pattern dessert fork of British style and with a British style monogram has some rather unBritish hallmarks.
Norway has been suggested to me, though I haven't been able to check this. Any information would be appreciated.

Curiously marked fork
With Trev's help, I've been able to find out that these are Maltese hallmarks, stamped when Malta was a British colony.
The R mark is their standard indicating Roman Fineness: 11 deniers; which I think means 11/12 or 91.66666667%
Now I just need to find out who RC is. Does anyone know of any books on Maltese silver?
