Any Silver Guru's out there?

Hiya, I know it is a marrow scoop/spoon , can anyone help with the maker and date please

 

My guess:
London, 1825, William Chawner II
See what others think!

 

Cool looking spoon!

Simple and to the point.

I don't think British

 

Why do you say that? It has all the correct marks.

 

It does not

 

Definitely British (English to be precise) and correctly identified by bluumz. Note that the vertical orientation of the hallmark is normal on flatware of this period.

Yes, it is correct, it has the kings mark represented by the lions head, it has the mark of George the 3rd used from 1785-1820, it has the correct assay mark for London and the correct K for 1825. After 1836 it would have had the left facing profile of Queen Victoria. Everything "post" Victoria doesn't fit. Well done.

 

Bluumz - don't worry, you did a great job of IDing, don't pay any attention to nonsense! And the member quoted below is the creator of the great site where you found the information - rest assured he knows more about British silver hallmarks than anyone here:

Looks like it could be a measure, full scoop on the big end, maybe 1/4 of that on the other?? But why it would be elongated is beyond me.

 

As was stated at the beginning of this thread, it's a marrow scoop. For scooping the marrow out of bones.

 

Ah-ha! Yes. Thanks

 

Of course it's British. The marks are spot on .
