New Teaspoon Advice Please

Yesterday i got my Deutsche Hasselhoffen spoon back from being modified.
I got them to remove 50 microns from the leading bowl edge, 40 microns from the flange and 50 microns from the shaft.
Now, before i hear shouts of "stance scene", "it's ruined", "who turned out the lights" the spoon is just for show and will be placed in a nonchalant manner on the coffee table as a conversation piece.

40 off the flange is pretty extreme. I mean I wouldn’t do it but I can respect the work gone into it.
One of my friends had his Dehavilland Countesse fluted, slimmed and notched with a fuller down the return flange and swore by it, I thought it ruined a great standard spoon but he says it’s a lifer so he’s happy.

Ah nooooo....once modified it cannot be made right, a good flange aficionado could spot that in a flash and it would never be allowed in the Hasselhoffen Catalogue Raisonée.I got them to remove 50 microns from the leading bowl edge, 40 microns from the flange and 50 microns from the shaft.

Sounds a bit "scene". You haven't stuck stickers all over the handle as well I hope.I got them to remove 50 microns from the leading bowl edge, 40 microns from the flange and 50 microns from the shaft.

Just wondering if anyone made it to the Classic Spoon Show at the NEC this weekend?
Place was packed as usual. Prices going through the roof. The bubble must burst soon.
Met a few old chums over a refreshing beverage in the begeisternde Liebhaber members lounge and may have made a (dealer) contact from Sofia who reckons he has a few unmarked Louis Quinze dispositif de tornade de thé Mk1s. I have much experience dealers promising the earth and failing to deliver so I am not holding my breath.
Here's a few quick snaps of a few interesting exhibits that caught my eye.

As a complete newbie onto the World of spoons and such like, I seek the wisdom of the fold.
We are to purchase a cutlery set for our lad and partner, a boxed set which they can add to as and when. Budget is not large, around £300, picked out a set from Robert Welch the radford bright 56 piece set. Nice design of classic proportion? Are we missing out a better purchase??
Advise and comment welcomed as always.
As an aside, I still enjoy listening to ‘The loving spoonful’ occasionally !

S'ok for cutlery I suppose. I'd buy them a set of knives and forks from ikea and spend the balance on a his'n'hers Krupp Classic pack. Ignite the (very slow burning) spooning fuse within the young couple. We are to purchase a cutlery set for our lad and partner, a boxed set which they can add to as and when.
