It does not look like French marks.
Based on the design of the spoon, and the silversmith hallmark form, I would suggest a Belgian or Dutch origin.
Some contributors with better knowledge of Belgian/Dutch silver could confirm/contest my suggestion.

Thank You very much for your advice👍

Many thanks Peter!

Hi, I could not find a Dutch or Belgian match. Mark D N with a twig in de middle, in an oval-shaped shield.
Can you clean the 2nd mark and try to make a clear enhanced image of this mark?

Peter.


Hi Peter and thanks. Finally it looks french Charançon de 1893

Hello, I would like to find out origine of this brooch. Probably Belgium?
Thanks for your advice.

Your welcome. For the record marks for silver-plated items, mark Bonnet(or cardinal's cap), HH with a dot on either side in a hexagon, and 90. This number is a measure of the thickness of the layer of silver applied.

Peter.
