17thC German Spoon - UNKNOWN HALLMARK

Post by Sarmatia »

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,

Could you please help to identify this 17th Century European Spoon (dated 1690)? In my opinion it is most likely German/Polish/Austrian, however I have no luck with the hallmark...

looks very dubious

have a better image of ingraving?
this 1690 is not from this time

The hallmark and yearsletter looks similar to Königsberg,
I think it is very probably a fake (but I am not sure)

a makersmark (RT) Robertus Tapke (master 1706) looks different

Hi,
Two spoons survived together for over three centuries.
Besides, bowls are soldered to handles.
IMO not genuine.
