Can anyone identify these marks?

Post by Generic_Lad »

Had this spoon for a while but never could get a positive ID out of it:

- Spoon feels and tested solid silver

- I don't think its sterling, but probably a lesser alloy

- Don't know where its from, but the markings make me guess European of some sort

Any help would be appreciated!
