Letters on front of spoon

[lukedpotter]

Hi,

I'm currently researching this spoon (see photo links below). My research has found that it is silver and was made by Pinder Brothers, Sheffield in 1914 (please correct me if I'm wrong).

However, I'm wondering what the lettering on the front of the spoon ('RBC'?) means. If anyone knows I'd appreciate the info - thanks!

Hello

Yours attributions on maker, place and date seems to bee correct.

The »RBC« monogram in script seems to me, to be "normal" - if it could be attributed as e.g. »Royal British Consulate« I think not. But I'm not British. Maybe they've had more formal insignia, e.g. a crest on their cutlery?

Kind regards silverport

I see no reason to think the letters are anything other than the owner's initials.
