I found this spoon intriguing for the apparently rough hewen look of the bowl, which seems to have been hammered from a piece of silver sheet. It bears the crescent moon and crown for post 1888 Germany and an 800 silver mark. The other mark (town?, maker?) is badly effaced, but I am hoping some one might recognize it just the same. I rotated the crown and moon mark 90%, but I did not do so for this mark, so I am not even sure what the correct orientation is.

Is the crest that of any particular city, or merely generic heraldic symbols?

Also, does anyone recognize the style? Can the date be narrowed any?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
