Being a new member, I am not able to answer the German spoon question in the continental silver forum, so I'm posting my reply here: Your spoon is indeed a Peter Bruckmann & Söhne spoon, designed by Carl Zeller (model number 3051), after 1902. See, for other items of the same model and other splendid models, the book by B. Grotkamp-Schepers and R. Sänger, Art Nouveau Knives, Forks and Spoons edited by Arnoldsche in 2000. A must for anyone with an interest in continental modern cutlery; the book shows many different models and makers with their marks! the exact date of fabrication of these spoons (or other art nouveau cutlery for that matter) is difficult to establish: the models were mostly in production for some decades, and as the German marks didn't change, it can be made from 1902 till the '20's! the style of engraved monograms are mostly (not always!) a clue to dating.
