The first is a teaspoon:
The second is a tablespoon:

Wild guess, and again, apologies for the necropost, but the eagle markings look like the Reichsadler of the German Empire and the crown on the back of the bowl looks like Imperial crown worn by the Kaisers from 1871 - 1918, so possibly part of a Prussian officer’s canteen? Resurrecting this post because I find these spoons interesting and I’m hoping someone smarter than I can chime in.

Yeah, well that was my second guess…
So the Imperial Eagle was the royal warrant. Excellent detective work Bart. Well done!

Thank U, Paul! ----____----
The second spoon - I think it’s from Russia. Some kind combination of double headed imperial eagle (Moscow/St. Petersburg).
Thank you, Paul, for resurrecting the post—thanks to you and Bartholomew, I got some answers.
