Hi, I just purchased this silver piece from an estate auction and I do not know what the piece is or what the mark means. It appears to be a small holder approx 10 inches long by 4 inches wide. There are 3 components as described in the pictures.

It appears to be a serving dish, maybe with the ability to keep food warm.

In this form always described as "divided" and "covered". May be termed "cold serving " as well. Legs too low for additional heating source (I.e. Stereo can). No added extra insulation other than thickness of glass and no liner for ice jacket-so not "chilled serving". By the way, thought the M16 no longer represents modern warfare-turned mine in long ago.
