The pictures of the mark are not sharp enough.Can you get better close-ups?
dated for 1885
How do you know it is 1885?
It could be Norway, Denmark has well established system of hallmarking and even with photos posted it does not look like Denmark.

The spoons are engraved by the owner or recipient on the back of the handle: "D.E.K. 85". The spoons appear to be silversmith made rather than production made. I will attempt a sharper image, though it's the hallmark not the photo that is not too clear. Thanks, Nate

its the focus of picture that is bad. Put mark in front of camera lens. The picures that you have taken has focus everywhere else.

I took numerous new photos and added them to the album referenced above trying to capture more of this mark.

This is probably the best one: http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/jj5 ... C_0305.jpg
