Silver Spoon - is it Dutch?

Hello everyone

I could really use some help please. I thought this was Dutch with a tax mark, but the left mark isn’t one I recognise. What are your thoughts please? Any help is very much appreciated - thank you

Regards Alison

The mark in your penultimate picture is a London sterling silver import mark, date letter i for 1924/5 and sponsor’s /importer’s mark GS of George Stockwell a well-known importer.

A Dutch origin is highly likely but I cannot see any evidence (apart from the subject matter) for this.

That’s a good point. Seems odd to import a souvenir spoon, and it’s the perfect size for a caddy spoon. I think it’s a caddy spoon :blush:
