There were several similar marks ,,could be !!

Could also be the Frankfurt am Main City Mark, before the put the numbers on it. Those marks look more like mine especially the far left mark

Thanks for the reply, I had a problem with file size so I left it off.

There are no other marks on the ladle, either front or back. you can see the under metal where the handle and bowl meet.

Here is a link to a photo of the front of the ladle

Scroll to the bottom here !! Germany had many similarly made eagles used as marks !! The one at the bottom started out like yours and later a shield was added and the eagle on/in the shield !! Since the ladle is silverplate only the city/town stamp was needed to tell where it was made !! Is anything else written on it ?? Can you post a pic of the front of it ?? Need to see it all !!
