The age old question, NYC or Savannah. In my humble opinion there is no way to tell on this piece unless you know the monogramee. It is marked "FM" (although the picture looks like "PM") with no makers marks. It is single struck Kings pattern which was popular during Marquands Savannah period. The condition is good and it is 5". I'm going to let you decide where it was sold. Ca 1825.
