Hi,
It`s French silver plated. Maker`s initials in a rectangle.
Have a look here.

Thank you so much for your information
Can you tell year of manufacture?
I'm wondering why a french spoon has a German 12 Loth system?

Hello again,
The image of the mark is embedded. I am not familiar with it.
Number ``12`` is NOT German Loth standard but thickness of silver plating, i.e. grams of silver used on spoons.
For numbers on silver plated items look here:
