<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 315643, member: 111"]Looks to me like the typical ox horn used for these spoons, they can range from light beige to almost black, sometimes various tones on one piece. It's probably Scottish Provincial, which often lacked proper hallmarks, and I'm having a hard time seeing those tiny marks as hallmarks (might measure them, along with the other mark) - they seem awfully small on what looks like a fairly small silver mount. Definitely don't know much about Scottish Provincial silver, but does seem odd to me for a duty mark to be present without hallmarks, but the round mark seems a bit unusual to me for a maker's mark...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
