Large Dutch Ship Spoon. Help Needed

Postby Moman45 » Tue Jun 24, 2008 3:19 pm

Hello All
I collect silver. Usually Early English. Have this large spoon. Certainly has all the Dutch traits and can approximate the marks but unsure.
May well be pseudo but the spoon does not present as such.
Am posting images (apologies low res) and any help from Dutch experts very welcome.
Thanks in advance.(First time posting so hope I get it right)

I believe the crown over GR mark was used by Georg Roth of Hanau Germany.
Check out this thread for more information:

Hi
Forgot to say thank you for this info.
Thought it was Hanau but was thrown off by 2 factors:
Roth normally a crowned "G" not "GR" and have never seen the susidiary marks before... The ship and the head.
I am still unsure but never mind ... Still a good spoon.
