Help ID an "Airborne" Spoon

I have a 12cm long souvenir spoon with an "Airborne" emblem on it. Unfortunately I am very unfamiliar with non-British hallmarks and I can only seem to identify this item as potentially being German because of the "90" stamped on it. The hallmark seems to read as: S (or g) then "AM" and then "90". If anyone can tell me the maker, year and confirm it's place of manufacture, I'd be most grateful.

“Pegasus is the defining symbol of British Airborne Forces 

The spoon is silver plated. AH in a rectangle with cut corners, I believe is a to me unknown Dutch silver plate mark. The 90 to indicate 90 gram of silver is used to plate 12 of the same spoons

The letter S could be a factory code letter and of no great importance, made in the 1950ties.
