I have two silver serving spoons which I received from my grandmother whose family came from Germany in the late 1890s.

One spoon has the hallmark J Siebler and the number 13 and on the front side the engraved initials K Ab with an iron cross above them.

The second, almost identical looking serving spoon has the hallmark Muller , a marking of the letter D, the number 13 and what looks like a small engraving of a sword. Engraved on the front side are the initials LC and BW and 1313.

The bowls of both of the spoons are slightly irregular and look hand made.

Any information about the source of these items would be appreciated

Here's a posting that looks like it could use a reply for the record.

Hi laurensk!

Haven't found Siebler yet. For Muller try a search for Berthold Muller & see if that could be the maker. Post pictures if you can.

Berthold Müller never made anything, the firm was an importer of German silverware, mostly Hanau production, (distributor of the firm of Neresheimer) in England.For more info on this firm please see John Culme: The Directory of Gold&Silversmiths, Vol.1 page 335.
