So it's definitely Cypriot, the unknown hallmark is the Cyprus Assay Office mark for silver along with 925 and the makers mark which is not X3 but Sigma Chi. Just can't find who the maker is but I know they are registered and their number is 254.

On with the search.

Thank you both, at least I know where to focus my research now, a lot further south and east!

Thank you for helping with the enlarged image. The hallmarks show 925 for sterling, what looks like X3, possibly a Finnish or Swedish date mark(?), and one I cannot decipher. Is it a town mark, assayers mark, makers mark?

Please help.
