Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Your question cannot be answered without an image of the actual marks on the item.

Hi,

You haven't displayed the area in which the other hallmarks would have been applied, but it was usual to submit items to assay prior to any decoration being added and I suspect in this case part of the marking has been lost in that process.

Please remember in future posts to keep your images to within the 7" (18cm) width limits.
