Matched Spoons: Maker script “HP”, “HS”, or “LH”.
Matched Spoons: Maker script “HP”, “HS”, or “LH”.
Smaller teaspoons. Both backs pricked out with “P.B.” over “1850” in script. Both with same style drop. Both punched only once with unknown maker. Stamp has unique points and seems best oriented to begin with an “H”. If not American Coin, then possibly European/Provincial? TIA

Correction…The pricking personalization may be for “J.B.” or “T.B.”.

:::::::: The two-letter font is very similar to a Mollerup spoon I also thought was American Coin Silver (" Peter Petersen Mollerup from the city Viborg in Denmark") and the pin-prick engravings also indicate a strong possibility is Denmark, so is it possible this is a Danish Provincial Silver Spoon, possibly a maker from Viborg? :::::::::::::::::::::::

Just adding images of those drops. We’ve already seen the Gothic Arch type, and also the Triangular type (sort of Pac Man like). But these spoons have both lines, so maybe, “Gothic Pac Man”?
In addition, there’s also a faint spine on the backs from the Tipt point down to where the silversmith put the punch mark.
