Hello!
I saw this marks a lot of time in different items in Hungary. The type of the items seggested to me, that's from aroun 1860-1870. It' defenetely lot marks, the fineness is 812,5‰.'
The bad news, I don't know, where made, Germany, or Hungary. I can't identify.
Best regards!

Many thanks, Kr.. Given the approximate era, would anyone think Transylvania as a further possible search area due to the old Hungarian presence there?

Well, as the part of the Hungarian Kingdom (that time) certeinly. Moreover, we have so slight knowledge about the silversmith in Transylvania - Except the big centrums (Brassó/Kronstadt, Nagyszeben/Hermannstadt, Kolozsvár/Klausenburg). So it's a possibility too,

Wyler's Old Silver (9th? Edition 1937) under German: Cities D - F date codes indicates and numbers three DK marks but does not define.
