Silverplate mark ID on spoon please

I assume silverplate. Any ideas? Thanks for your time.

 

I think German and solid silver alloy of some degree. Has the worn remnants of a "crescent moon" to the left of the crown.

Tough to figure what's between the crown and the M, though. Maybe 800 upside down? If the M is the maker mark, could be done by Gustav Mummert (sp) - see his mark on this page.

Wow Bakersgma you are amazing! I think you are right. Thank you so very much. I tried to use my microscope camera (which I'm terrible at), but it does sort of look like an 800 upside down. What do you think?

 

Smooshed from the left, making the last 0 look more like J?

 

Thanks again Bakersgma, I was able to find my 20x loop, and I can finally see the mark pretty clearly. It is an upside down 800, with the last 0 cut off/smudged on the side. Thank you so much for the help, I truly appreciate it.

 

Where's the best answer icon? That deserves a best answer!

 

Thank you for the compliment. Unfortunately (and for no obvious reason) "Best Answer" is not available on the Metalware Forum. Has been brought to the attention of the Mods, but they have (apparently) not found a way to add it.

 

Well poo!! That's strange that it's not available on the metal forum.
Thanks again bakersgma
