JG over FP   is Joseph Goss & Francis Parsons, 1810..1813

No, it's a serif F.

Can we see the rest of the spoon ?

Nope...it is JG over FP

Here's another example for you:

http://www.silversugartongs.com/exeter/Francis%20Parsons%20and%20Joseph%20Goss/Francis%20Parsons%20and%20Joseph%20Goss%201813.htm

I believe that last mark can be a city import mark.
B is date mark
Leopard is city mark

Well the B there is for 1797/98 but i find that group of markings odd. No Duty mark


Might be worth £40 if right
