Hi guys,
I’ve tried researching the hallmarks on this spoon but I’m not getting anywhere, especially with the cross symbol at the end. Would anyone know what they mean? Thank you

Birmingham
Sturges & Son, manufacturers of Platina, British Plate and Britannia Metal wares, was the partnership of Elizabeth Sturges (she was active since 1829 at Suffolk Street) and her son Richard Ford Sturges. They worked in partnership between 1833 and 1841, at 26 Litchfield Street, Birmingham. Richard continued the business on his own account from 1841 until c. 1863 (from 1849 at 46 Broad Street).
