Hey!
I would be very grateful for help. I have a spoon made in Sheffield. Not sure which year and which silversmith. I also wonder what the symbol on the front of the fork symbolizes? The one with a bird, a crown and a sword.
Best regards
Per

Hi Per,
The symbol on the front of the fork is the family crest of a former owner.

Hello!
Thank you very much for the answer.
Could it be some noble person, considering the crown?

It's a coronet, so yes, but I've been unable to find a match for this crest so far.

Hello!
Thank you very much for the defense. It would be fun if the fork was owned by some noble family. I'll keep checking.
