Souvenir spoon mystery

[varadino]

Hi all,

My question is regarding the marks I have found on a souvenir spoon I have purchased long time ago. Despite the numerous research I have made on the subject, I have no information regarding the country and date of creation. The "Q2" mark would tell about Swedish manufacture of 1798, but the trefoil cartouche is apparently missing and the fiddle and shell design looks like from a bit later period (see the last picture.) The crown shape combined with a rotated moon is also very interesting to me. I do not know what these marks mean and I would appreciate any kind of information. Thanks!

Happy holidays,
N. V.

Hi,
Image of the mark is too small;klicking on them does not help,either.
Can you,please, embed close up of the marks.
Thanks,regards.

Yes the image could be better and bigger. However, I'll try my best shot anyway.
It is not Sweden (three crowns) but Finland (one crown only) and the maker's mark could be G.A.S. That would be Gustaf Adolf Strömbäck in Helsinki. The half moon is not the moon but a boat for Helsinki's crest. The year mark Q2 would be 1849.

What about this suggestion AG2012?

Hi,
Gustaf Adolf Strömbäck is an excellent candidate; even the crown is seen on the right of date code, I think.
Compare with 1843.
