Hello!
Denmark, Copenhagen, 1821, assayer Frederik Fabritius (1787-1823). The St mark belongs to the maker Pierre Jean Stoundre (known in 1791-1826).

Mind my saying, but in my opinion the maker is Johan Poul Struntze 1814-1858. There are undoubtedly similarities between Struntze's and Stoundre's punches but Stoundre used a square shield while Struntze an oval shield. The assayer is Fredrik Fabritius 1787-1823. The year of work is 1821.

Hello Qrt.S!
My source is Christian Boje's book. I believe this is mark #837.

Yes I know, my source is Danske Guld og Sølvsmedemerkærker, Sydansk Universitetsforlag 2022, mark #B4-1588 on p. 159... Your book is a bit outdated. At least the marks #831, 833, 835, 836 and 837 belongs to Struntze not to Stoundre.
