Need help identifying spoons

I got given these spoons for my 18th birthday by my great, great grandfather and have never taken any notice of them until today (sorting out my house to move out!) I know literally nothing about them and have tried to find information on the internet - and failed! 

Does ahyone know anything ? 

 

Many thanks

Need help identifying spoons

This type is usually called "apostle spoons." Often made in Italy, but by no means exclusively. Of course the twisted handle allows very little space for marks, but try looking with a strong magnifier at the back of the "platform" on which each of the apostles stand. Often silverplated, too.

 

The one on the left (with the little black knob) is not related to the others.
