Irish silver spoons?

I would love some help to identify this hallmark please. I believed they are Irish but can’t see a Dublin harp. Many thanks

It’s London 1720 as Bart suspects above. Britannia standard and WI is almost certainly Starling Wilford.

As in the 1720 hallmark image from my site posted by Bart: from the top, Britannia followed by the leopard’s head erased (“erased” is a heraldic term meaning cut off at the neck).

Hi! You were so helpful with my 1720 rats tail spoons, could you please help me with this? I forgot about it in the excitement of finding they were over 300 years old!

So called “apostle spoon”.
