Hello again,
Although your image is rather small, I think the maker`s initials are ``TM`` of Tomaso Panizza (the goat in the mark).
Take a look here and compare under higher magnification.

Hi, Managed to embed your images. It was made in Milan, Italy. Take a look here. http://www.silvercollection.it/LOMBARDOVENETOHALLMARKS.html I think the maker has been discussed here. Will try to find the thread, there are very knowledgeable members of the forum. I think the maker will be identified...

Hi, The spoon is champlevé, but difficult to tell which technique was used to create cells (carved or die struck). They might have applied the same die to a sheet of silver and used it for the inside of the tobacco case and then made cells of twisted wire for cloisonné on the outside. Anyway, a supe...

In 1865 John George Smith sr. (son-in-law of Piddington) became proprietor and was...

Hi,
It does look like copper. A925 is manufacturer`s design, inventory or internal factory number of some kind. Just a coincidence with sterling fineness.
Silver plating has completely disappeared, at least what images tell.

Hi, The spoon was made by Atelier Bossard , late 19th or early 20th century. Not a ``constructor``, there is no profit in faking Freiburg souvenir spoon. Bossard, Johann Karl Born October 11, 1846 in Luzern, died December 17, 1914 in Luzern. The son of silversmith Johann Caspar Balthasar. Having spe...

Let`s date it.
Registered in 1952.
The mark is prior to 1968.

Hi, In regard of ‚‚raised‚‚ punches. What we see as marks, is actually a mirror image of steel punches. Raised lettering in steel will make impressed lettering in silver and vice versa. Both variants were widely used. I`m just not sure if either variant can be accepted as a rule of thumb to determin...

Hi, I suppose besamim implies Hebrew tradition.Incense burners are common in Orthodox tradition, hanging in front of the icon being more common. One of the members has written very comprehensive note on ``Judaica``, the term wrongly attributed to every sugar box (Zuckerdose) and every beaker, just b...
