Featured 1/3: Silver or Plated Spoon, "ZWIPFF 13"

Serving spoon, 8 5/8" long, ~49.4 grams.

This is a single; there are another four, with almost identical patterns, that have similar, unusual (to me), marks, which will be posted in Silver this evening. Are they sterling, or plated? Can anyone date them, or say where they were produced? Thanks for lookin'!

 

The 13 is for 13 lothig, a pre-1886 measurement of silver. Solid, not plated.

 

13 lott - .812 fineness.

There has to be a better name on there than WIPFF. Maybe WIRTH?

 

Can we see the rest of the spoons and their markings, please?

 

Just completed the other two posts, Bakers...

 

it's ZWIPFF...clear & plain, Bakers.

 

@Bakersgma, I did what I do when trying to figure out words, letters, numbers.....came up with a little different than @wlwhittier, but they're his, so he's probably right, but here's my take right or wrong.....I see a ZW1R not sure on next, and last looks like an E....to ME......you already know the 13.....'s all I've got....look carefully at the letters.....if OP has them clearly marked elsewhere, that's terrific!!!

Typical 19th century German lancet-style spoon.
