rescued from the crucible

[amena]

I saved this ladle from the melting.
I thought I had learned something on German silver but obviously not enough.
I think that the hallmark in the center is of Berlin.
The “A” mark on the right side I think is a datemark, but I could not find a list of the correspondences between the letters and the dates.
The mark on the left side I think is the mastermark. I looked up in the Rosenberg without result.
Can anyone help me?
Regards

Thank you Theo.
And thanks to Blakstone : his article solved the date problem.
I thought that the A in the circle was a dateletter (sorry I have written to the right side, I meant to the left side).

Yes it is an "Ältermann-Buchstabe" and the combination is K/A (about from 1830)
