Can anyone identify the maker?

Hi,

This 1772 scroll back Hanoverian spoon has me stumped re the maker, can anyone make out anything legible with this mark?

Regards,

Martin.

Hi Martin,

I would go for William Turner (Grimwade 3353), a known maker of picture back spoons.

His punch, chipped and worn out, lasted just long enough to see him out, he died in 1772.
