Spoon Identification

Good afternoon all,

I have come across this spoon recently It says "Ward 7" which would suggest that it has come from somekind of institution and has a belt type emblem below. On the reverse of the spoon it has a stamp that says "Dixon Stainless Firth Staybright"

Any information would be helpful

I can only see 'WD 7' in the photos ?

It does say "WD", therefore it may or may not mean "Ward" it may mean something else altogether,

My guess, was just that, a guess, led my your assumption that it was "Ward", however, until something better comes along RIS is a reasonable guess based on the very limited facts we have about the piece.

Yes WD not Ward,

WD, - War Department??

Could it be a military field issue and RIS is some sort of army unit (Royal Infantary S???)

There is what looks like a shamrock on the belt at the bottom - could the "I" stand for Irish?

War Department would more likely be signified by an arrow than "WD"?
