Guess it's german silver but...

Hi all!

What do you think about this hallmarks coming from a pair of candleholders?

(admin photo edit - images too large - link only - see Posting Requirements )

My opinion is it could be german silver dated from the 16-17th century from Luneburg. And you? What do you think about?

Thanks for your answers.

@Theoderich: Thank you for your answer. That's the best I can do for the hallmark (I know that better pics give better results but...). Next is a picture of the pair.
