[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9795069, member: 2844"]Beautiful spoon, J.:happy: If it is Dutch it is probably not a Z, Dutch are not in the habit of crossing Zs. So your initial thought of NI or IN is correct imo. I couldn't find this specific mark. Unfortunately a lot of 17th and 18th century Dutch silver doesn't bear assay, town, or year marks, which makes research difficult. NI/IN would be the maker's mark. IG was probably the owner. In both cases the I could stand for a J. Cheryl is good with [U]all[/U] silver, and she collects spoons.;) Tagging [USER=111]@DragonflyWink[/USER] .:)[/QUOTE]
