I am trying to identify the country of origin, maker, date, etc. for the pictured solid silver pierced spoon. The spoon is 9.5 inches long. The bowl of the spoon is 2.125 inches in diameter. It has a wood handle stained or painted black with a small ivory bead on the end of the handle. I hope I got the picture upload right?

Does anyone recognize the city mark?

The town is Luleå in northern Sweden and the maker is Carl Adolf Åström born 13.9.1834 and dead 18.10.1920. He became master in Stockholm 29.5.1860 and moved to Luleå in February 1875 where he marked 1875-1906. The silver fineness is 830/1000 and made in 1904.
