<p>[QUOTE="silvermakersmarks, post: 4507920, member: 66620"]The marks are clearly overstamped which explains their confused nature. It is difficult to work out which bits might be original and which bits overstamped but I think that I might be able to see the lower part of a possible spread eagle mark - end of tail and talons. If so this could be Scottish provincial, possibly from Perth. The shape of the spoon looks like what is known as an "oar pattern"; this is also a typically Scottish pattern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
