The maker of your piece assayed in 1894 is most likely Mark Willis, who was registered with the Sheffield Assay Office and traded from: Exchange Works, 56 Fargate, Sheffield.

I'm not sure about Mappin & Webb. I own a couple, and they are marked M & W, not M.W. Also, cannot find any reference to them as M.W.

date lettergothic b...1894 sheffield assay, maker probably early Mappin and Web, they started in 1892, still seems to have rounded rectangle corners as does early Mappin Bros, just missing the & sign !
