Okay so I did post the two pictures but to my best camera efforts,. but haven't been able to find this particular hallmark with this spoon, which has a fig shaped bowl, and a rattail.<p>

the hallmarks cannot be seen. they are, proceeding down the spoon from the handle end: in a sheild shaped indentation either a lowercase l or upper case i, the sheffield lion passant on a similar indentation, next a crown, with arches and crosses, on the same background indentation, and finally a heraldic shield, either quartered or halfed with the letters C or G in the upper left quadrant, B in the upper right quadrant, the letter ampersand in the lower left quadrent and the letter S in the lower right. I understand that ampersand S stands for and son usually... im sorry I can't get a clearer shot of the hallmark.
