Looks like a standard G.I. M1926 Kess Kit spoon . . . but if it was US it would say "US" on the handle. No idea what other nations used.

Yes, it have US on the handle and the number C7400 on the rear. It came from USA trenches in Salerno battlefield. Some idea about number C7400

No idea, but a guess would be a manufacturer lot number. I found another on the Internet with R3244 stamped on the back.

Wow!!!! What an awesome find!

I would love to dig some WWII relics...it is a dream of mine.

Oh, and it is a standard issue spoon for a WWII era US mess kit. I have no idea what the C7400 is though.
