Any fren to help me on those?
From a set of spoons, sold as french Fermiers Generaux, but these marks clearly aren't FG. It look like a mix of french and british marks. I'm quite confident they are fantasy marks from late 19th century Hanau (Germany), who back then was granted a free-trade city status, and was a big spot for precious metals. Since they didn't have to oblige to specific taxes, and hallmarks above all are a tax system, they imitated and invented all kinds of marks. With an emphasis on old austrian & french marks from the 18th.

My question would be more : is Hanau silverware fetching a premium? Idk if i should pay scrap for it, or a bit more.
