stamped silver sugar cube grabbers No 1 - help on ID please

This one I have a clue on. I think it is from Vienna and maybe even from 1840 if the stamp really has the meaning of the production year which I donīt know.

Hereīs the overview:



Here the (date) stamp (1840?):



Here the Austrian eagle?



And here you can see the craftsmanship:



I would be very delighted if someone could help me if my ideas are correct. Thank you!

Gorgeous!!  Your stamps look very similar to ones at the top of this page.  Seems yours (according to what I see) is pre-1866 & (naturally) "coming soon"!  Might want to hold onto this link for future...

I can fully appreciate the meaning behind the phrase "They just don't make 'em like they used to".

Thanks BungalowMo, I found out that "13" means 13 LOT (812,5/1000), 1840 is the year and I think A is for Wien.
