Featured Older 830 Silver? Serving Spoon/Ladle; Who, Where & When?

It's ~8 3/4" long, the bowl is ~3" X ~2 3/8"; weight is ~74 grams.
Someone has hammered with it; there are 3 minor an' 1 major ding in the bowl...I use it anyway! 830 is (to me) an odd alloy, but I have a feeling it may be indicative of its nation of origin; the mark is the initials A.S.H., with 830 S. (last pic). Does the S. after the 830 have any meaning save for Silver?
All your help gratefully received! Thanks for lookin'!

 

I think S usually means a Scandinavian maker

 

830 was a very common Scandinavian fineness and is still used to a lesser degree, the 'S' is for Sølv (Silver). This spoon is Norwegian, the 'Rose' aka 'Flat Rose' pattern, produced by numerous makers from the mid-late 19th century to present, would guess yours made any time from the 1890s into the mid 20th century. The maker isn't ringing a bell, I can look into it in a bit, but there are numerous unknown makers, even a chance it's a retailer...

Thank you both...all at once!

I'm so pleased to have that information! I wonder if the cost to have those dings professionally removed would seriously swamp the value of the spoon...I have a favorite silversmith here, an' will see what he can do for it.
Again, many thanks!

 

Have to ask, why would having the dents removed "seriously swamp the value"?

~Cheryl

 

The value of a 'perfect' spoon may not cover the cost of the silversmiths efforts; He's at ~$40 an hour. I can't imagine recovering that amount plus the melt value, Cheryl...unless this spoon is far more desirable than I imagine.

 

Ahhh, so profit rather than value, that makes sense - it would have more value repaired (sorry, sometimes my collector side overrides my seller side). It's not a particularly valuable piece, doubtful it would be worth putting much, if anything, into it if selling...
