Old Silver Spoon - need more info about it

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.

To maximise its value...it would be great if you had proof that she got it from a "noble"....person from UK...
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

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.
