[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 666343, member: 2844"]The mark is not Iranian. It could be Turkish, although I don't recognize the marks inside the crescent as part of a Turkish mark. If it is indeed a Turkish mark, the spoons were made between 1923 and 1928. Before 1928 Turkish was written using Arabic script. Many people kept using Arabic script for a few decades after Latin script was introduced. The crescent moon mark was introduced in 1923. The mark changed to a circle in 1928, went back to a crescent later, but with latin script.[/QUOTE]
