SS Marked Dessert Spoons?

[GLM]

Hello SS Collectors,

I'm not sure if I have these in the right Forum, but thought they could be identified here better than anywhere else?

This set of cased spoons was acquired by a good friend across the mountains from me here in Colorado and he was wondering if I could help him find out exactly what they are? These are the only scans I have, so if anyone needs more details, it might take a day or so to get them. I was told the spoons are dainty and only measure around 4-5 inches long. Dessert spoons? Sugar spoons? He was particularly interested in finding out who the M & G maker is and the purpose for the crown and Imperial eagle<?> on both sides of the 800 mark. He was also interested in a value for something like this set, but I know it's a touchy subject in discussions here on the Forum. Can anyone help him with any information on these? If someone is willing to take a crack at a value on them, that would be an additional bonus. BTW - There are only six spoons out of the original eight.

Thanks in advance,

Gary

hi gary, ive looked and looked at your pictures and ithink this,,, firstly they look to busy, theyve to much decoration and it appears that the eagle has been squeezed in, i think originally there were initials of the owner before the SS was later added, both box and spoons are period im sure, but the internal stamp dosnt ring true to me , there is just to much going on in my opinion, if i were viewing these i would politely walk away, hope ive not offended you gary, kind regards phil

Hi Phil,

No offense taken. They're not mine and I was simply asking on behalf of a friend.

Best regards,
