Silverplate object unknown maker's mark

[kingamenhotepiv]

I have a silver plate item that I've been trying to research without any success.
It has a makers mark on the backside which I can't be sure if it's an H and a P or vice versa
or something completely different.

It also says Rep-Du-Tres on the backside above the makers mark. There is also additional
markings that I can't really tell what it says. If anyone has any idea what it is, I'd be very
grateful for any information.

Hello, this is the reproduction of the Cleopatra Selene II, Queen of Mauretania plate from the Boscorelae silver treasure, now in the Louvre museum in Paris. Suppose Rep points to "Reproduction". Who actually did this - no clue though. I suspect a galvanoplastic replica of non precious metals, silberplated. Regards, Bahner

Hi Bahner

Thank you so much for the information!
Your explanation is quite interesting!
I would love to read about the Boscorelae silver treasure,
so your information gives me a starting point. I will do
some online checking to see what I can find.

I love anything Egyptian, having traveled there in the past.
Now knowing that it's one of Cleopatra VII's ancestors, I will
treasure it.

Thanks again for your answer!

Kindest regards,
Leo
