Antique Questions Forum / Re: Russian / German Spoons? 19th Century

One quick update from my wife's grandpa (he is excited about the origins). I'll still post when I see them next as well. I do remember looking at the markings and having a hard time myself making out the letters.
"Dad just called and said on the back of the BIG spoon he can for sure make out the last few letters. The last 2 are GD and there is a space before the G with 3 letters/numbers before it. He said it looks like either an 8 or a B followed by either OC or DC. The small spoons also have either 8OC or 8DC on each one. He used a magnifying glass and he said the first few on the big spoon were kind of faded out. There is no marking for sterling silver so he is assuming it is a metal like silverplate."

*update, have one pic. This is the best I can do via pic as I am no longer up in KY to check it out myself.
I can't quite make out what is on the back. RDD GD?

Thanks for the reply!
So the Russian was a suggestion from my mother after searching the internet. She said they matched some 'russian imperial' spoons. But that was simply a guess.
These were found in my wife's grandfathers basement. He buys 'interesting looking' things for fun!
The cursive on the red patch says "Ihren Kindern" which appears to mean "Their Children"
The front cover says "ZUR Erinnerung am 12 July 1882, which appears to be in memory of.

Looking for any hints on these spoons. Looks to be German writing but my searches come up with Russian matching.
Let me know if you have any clues!
Thanks!
Doug
