Could you upload a pic of the spoon? I can read the charaters, but will need to see the exact character.
The character you have drawn kind of looks like silver, but lets see the picture.

After cleaning them up, I realised there were two different spoons. 1.   2.   There are characters on the back of both spoons but they are too small to scan, so I'll try to draw them. |

The character on the front of Spoon #1 is the character for life ('su' or 'soo' in Korean) and the character on the front of the second spoon is the character for luck ('bok' in Korean). I am excited to see the backs of the spoons! Take pictures even if you think they are too small to read.

Both the Korean and the Hanja characters are "Silver". Amazing spoons and congrats! Let me know if you want to sell these. I live in Korea and if you don't have a crazy interest in them, I would love them for my collection. Even if you decide to keep them, it was a lot of fun working with you on these. Where did you find them by chance?

Lembafc,
Thanks.
Do the characters indicate the percentage of silver or is Korean silver always the same ?

It doesn't say how much of it is silver. And I am not sure about whether or not Korean silver is the same.
