Is this Germany? Nurnberg or Greiffenberg?

Hi all, any help with this mark?
Thank you,

I think I can answer my own question. I turned it 90 degrees and it looks like a Berlin lion.

How about Braunschweig?

could also be Berlin with a "I"
about 1917-18

No, neither Berlin nor Brunswick/Braunschweig, but (you got it!) Nuremberg/Nürnberg.

The “N” is the Nuremberg city mark. The lion is the Bavarian lion, used alongside the “N” 1808-1820, after the free city of Nuremberg passed to Bavaria following the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806.

The “A” is a control letter used from March to May of 1818; it was followed by “B”, used May 1818 to April 1820, and there the letters ended. (These letters should not be confused with the two earlier series of assayer’s letters which ran concurrently 1767-1808).

The maker’s mark is only partially struck, but it is definitely the conjoined “GH” frequently seen on Nuremberg items from the first half of the 19th century. The recent definitive Nürnberger Goldschmiedekunst attributes this mark to the prolific Häberlein family, probably Johann Georg Daniel Häberlein (1780-1851; Master 1802).

Hope this helps!
