Pair of Irish Silver Table Forks by Patrick Moore with a Boar's Head Engraving - George IV 1829
They were made by the renound Dublin silversmith Patrick Moore in 1829. They include the "M WEST" retail mark for Matthew West. Both forks are fully hallmarked for Dublin and weigh 134 grams.
They are approximately 20 cm or just under 8" long.
The hallmarks include the Hibernia mark, the harp crowned, the George IV duty mark, the date letters the maker's mark and "M WEST" retailer's mark.
These should sell for roughly £100 each or £200 for the pair.

Irish George III .925 silver forks byJohn Power
These Irish George III sterling silver forks are fully hallmarked and are in good condition for their age. They have patina commensurate with items over 200 years old.
They were made by the renound Dublin silversmith John Power in 1806. Both forks are fully hallmarked for Dublin and weigh 140 gms. They have an impressive engraving of a hand grasping a broken spear on the handle of each fork.
They are approximately 8" long.
The hallmarks include the Hibernia mark, the harp crowned, the date letter "K", and the maker's mark.
Like the Patrick Moore forks, I estimate these forks by John Power should sell for £200 for the pair (..or more in a major London auction house).
