To me it looks like a flag on the tower, not a number. In my knowledge, they did not use datanumber in those years, however, 21 (1821) would not be possible because the mark came into use in 1824. Touqeer,who can watch with a loupe all the 4 marks, can clarify if there are numbers or not. However, I...

In fact, it required that: la cifra indicante i millesimi dovrà essere racchiusa in una losanga sugli oggetti d'oro (the figure indicating the thousandths mus...
I agree with Trevis, I have already seen this mark, but I do not know who is that silversmith. The mark reminds the column at Cape Colonna (Taranto) Not that this is a big help. Regards Amena
Image 4 is the one to which Davidross refers as  " marks posted on another site are Identified as Egyptian, 19th century " Image 5 shows the comparison between the image 3 and the chicken from image 4. Hope now the matter is more clear. Regards Amena
I did my best to get clear pictures of the two marks in the "nest" In the square mark it seems to me to see a 90 in Arabic numerals, which are also equal in the alphabet Persian https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg In the round one, perhaps you can see something that looks like the chick...
