Old Silver Spoon - need more info about it
Hi all,
My grandmother was given a very old silver spoon by a noble englishman in 1971. She passed away recently and I inherited this spoon from her. Below are the photos of this spoon:

It is made of solid silver and was told it costs a fortune. Can someone give me more info about the markings and from which period it might be originating?
Thanks

London 1895 with an import mark ( the F ) which was possibly Berthold Muller ( the BM ), most likely from Holland or Germany. Gorgeous spoon.

Wow....How much could it be worth?

To maximise its value...it would be great if you had proof that she got it from a "noble"....person from UK...

Not worth as much as you're hoping.
This made $140, although i think that's a bit cheap.

Also at Christies they sold a pair ; one was a cavalier blowing a trumpet like yours. They fetched £260.
Think you're looking at around $160-200.
