I believe the GB mark was used by the British importer George Bedingham.
The marks below might be from Hanau Germany.

The N and the first mark (head in shield) on the bottom row of marks are the only two marks on a sterling decorative box with Napoleonic shield on top that I have described in a posted question. Looking everywhere, it is the first time I have seen another N and head exactly like the marks on my box. Probably Hanau marks..... or maybe the N is for Nuremberg? My box has no other marks on it that I can find.

Definitely not an antique Nuremberg mark. Everything about the piece indicates Hanau c.1900.
