S with an arrow - who is the maker?
A set of 5 monogrammed teaspoons, I assume silver plated.
Any information on origin, marks or maker would be appreciated!

"13 1/4" for a purity of 13 1/4 Loth, or about 83%, and made before 1892.
Makers mark "I.F." for J.Frisenberg (founded 1868 at Lillehammer in Norway, still in business. See https://frisenberg.no)

Any information on this spoon would be appreciated. There are two marks, unknown to me. There is also a faint engraving on the back side that makes me assume the spoon is german; either "Heinrich & Frau" or "Heinrick & Frau". It weighs 25 grams and is 17.9 cm long, and after light polishing it ...

I found the https://www.925-1000.com/Gorham_Date_Code.html, and the marks seems to be in the style of the late 19th century. Additionally, there is a sideways T in a rombus centered on the upper portion of the neck.
J.H could be Jens Elias Hagenæss of Bergen, Norway Hagenæss apprenticed as a filigree worker at the workshop of Marius Hammer from 1892. He was later employed at the workshops of Marius Hammer (Bergen), Antonius Frisch (Kristiania, presentday Oslo), Clemet Berg (Kristiania) and at L. Gullhagen ...

Hi, thank you both for the answer and the references, they are very interesting.
