I have a piece that I would like some help. I think it is Dublin but I can't find the date stamp in this configuration. It is a script "N" in a shield The shield's shape is is the concern. The sides of it are curved. Can't find that shape anywhere. The item seems to me to be a trophy. Can anyone confirm this?
Thank you
Adam

Hello. I enhanced your picture of the marks.
On the right are Chester import marks for 1901.
The BM mark was used by Berthold Mueller, a London based importer of German & Dutch silver.

Other marks are pseudo-marks from Ludwig Neresheimer of Hanau, Germany.
