Help with ID - 830 Silver Baroque Serving Fork - Dutch or German?

[dragonsbreath9493]

Hi All, I need some help identifing an 830 fork that I have recently acquired. The piece measures 5 1/2" long x 2 1/8" wide at its widest. It is flat and has four tines. The details on the piece include a face and floral decorations. The marks that I can decipher read "830," Silver," a right facing lion, a mark that includes a star and then an "N" and then two other characters that I can not read and two other hallmarks, one of which I think is the date letter and seems to be an 'O". I would appreciate any help, both in identifying the function of this piece and the country of origin and possible dates. Thanks and please see the attached photos. D

@dragonsbreath9493  Very interesting piece ... perhaps a Pastry or Asparagus fork ... 830 I do believe refers to the silver content.  Possibly from Norway ...

It's .830 silver Dutch fork. Not sure of the maker or it's function. Appears to be late 19th c.

Could it be a hair comb?
