Hi John,

The Sun mark is the import mark for London, the K indicates that the date of the import was 1905, the 925 is the standard for sterling silver i.e.925/1000. The BM is the importers mark and stands for Berthold Muller. He was a very large importer of silver at this period.
I'll let someone else describe what may be Belgium marks?
Hope this helps.

Regards Trev.

Hello, could be German pseudo marks, possibly from Hanau. Best wishes, Bahner
