This spoon looks to be 830 or higher but I have not seen this mark before . Spoon is dated 1825 and was a wedding spoon having the initials of bride & groom . Image . Second photos shows mark Image

Hi JustinGill,

your spoon was made in Vejle/Denmark.
It has a 11 LOT marking.
During the difficult economic situation around 1813, the silversmiths were unable to obtain high-quality silver.
Small amounts of silver were used.
