Bottger [rectangular cartouche] = the mark of "a master of the Hamburg guild" -> so, Yes a silversmith is expected for this name. But he did not do the actual work, only accepted it from the concessionaire...like subcontracting to a small shop. Hello! Thank you very much for the answer. T...

The Assay Master letter in mark 1 appears to be A (for Schaeffer) which would narrow the time frame...can you confirm that that visually?

Hello, your photo lacks some crispness in the lettering. Is it definitely "JLH"? is the lower lettering "EPC"? If so possibly electroplate on copper. I wondered if the the "H" could be "LTD" in which case James Lodge of Sheffield could be considered. Lets hop...
