Mark help on the largest serving spoon I’ve had

I had a ladle once that was bigger but pretty sure this is the largest and heaviest spoon I’ve had. 12”, over 150g. Paid more than I would have liked but less than scrap. Was just curious about it and didn’t have time to dig. I’ve looked a bit now and still haven’t found the mark. There is a chance it’s Italian. Owners were Italian immigrants with some money and nice things. Looks like a male head facing left with a 3 next to it. Could be a B or 8 or something else. Next what appears to be a left facing arrow. Finally three letters I believe. PAX maybe? Latin or just initials maybe. Head doesn’t look wholly unlike the 1825 British duty mark but I don’t believe those carry numbers next to them? Maybe someone here know it?

 

I know you didn't ask but the monogram looks like GV.

 

Shameless self bump.
