[diaan3110]

I am sorry, but don't know how to add a picture, so I describe my possesion. I have a kind of travel set in a leather case, spoon and fork. Hall marks are an ornate R, anchor, lion to the left, victoria and the makers name G.U. I really like to know more about the makers name and where this set was made for. Thank you so much, Diana

Thanks for the pics. The letter is actually a stylised italic 'K' and your set was made in 1884-5 by George Unite, a sought after maker due to the quality of his work. It is essentially a set for eating fruit.
Best wishes, Mike.
