Unknown GA Mark

Not sure which forum this entry belongs in. And of course hoping for the maker’s name.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Does it say [GA] [GA] [84] or is that last mark another [GA] or.....? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:::::::::: Also this might sound strange but do you think this spoon has been "cast" instead of made with stamping methods? ::::::::::

The last mark also looks like GA. It’s turned upside down from the other two. I don’t see anything that makes me think it’s cast. Although it is not a particularly thin spoon even with all the wear.

::::::: George Angus Scottish Provincial. ::::::::::



:::: I guess that third mark is not the PHD mark for Peterhead? ::::::::::

Thank you for all your effort Aguest. Here are a couple more images that may be useful. One of them is of the shoulders of this spoon just because the tips appear to turn away from the bowl.

::::: I'm not sure how to distinguish between George Angus and an "Anonymous Scottish Provincial Duty-Dodger Imitating The GA Hallmark Of George Angus" but, correct me if I'm wrong, I believe the form of the spoon and the "triple mark" hallmarks have been seen in collections of Scottish Provincial Spoons from Scotland. :::::::
