Re: Identify...
Sterling silver hallmarks, marking it as genuine silver.
The crown means it's Sheffield Silver
The Lion The 'n' stands for 1905 (not 100 % sure on that)
The "CW.F"
The other marks
Most likely a silver fruit knife.
Others may have more or more accurate information.

Forged on the anvil of discipline.

It appears that all three of those marks together make up the Gorham Silver trademark.

Re: Identify...
I thought "JR" is for Joseph Rodgers & Sons, the most highly esteemed of all vintage Sheffield cutlery manufacturers.

Re: Identify...
Roland the "JR" in the Joseph Rodgers mark is in more of a rectangle, or a rectangle with the corners beveled off.

Re: Identify...
Thanks Eric. I did not know that the shape of the lines around the initials made a difference.
