Hello.

Maybe a toasting fork ?
Would be good for masrhmellows if it's long enough.

Can't help on the marks.

Hello

That's in Western Europe flatware additional server a pickles fork with pic off mechanism e.g. for mixed pickles, olives ...

It seems to me that this is an early and more hygienic type as usual in first half of 20th century.

Mark's and country I couldn't identify.

Kind regards silverport
