big Austrian spoon with "Radlpunze" 1821 and - I suppose - F2 for a sub-assay-office of Brünn (now Brno), tax mark and maker's initials AO. Who is the maker and where it was assayed? All hints welcome.

Radlpunze + AO
Hello all,
big Austrian spoon with "Radlpunze" 1821 and - I suppose - F2 for a sub-assay-office of Brünn (now Brno), tax mark and maker's initials AO. Who is the maker and where it was assayed? All hints welcome.

Re: Radlpunze + AO
This might well be by Anton Oberhauser (and his sons) from Vienna, who had a branch in Brünn from 1808 onwards (a "Jahrmarktshütte").
Re: Radlpunze + AO
Can't help with the maker, but from 1807 to 1865, F2 was the code for the sub-office in Opava (German = Troppau), then part of Austrian Silesia and now part of the Moravian-Silesian region of Czech Republic, right on the Polish border.
Re: Radlpunze + AO
Thanks joris and blakstone.
I didn't find anything about Anton Oberhauser (1777-1827), except that he was a Vienna silversmith.
Perhaps there was a Troppau silversmith AO too?!
