Looks like a castle (three towers) with an arrow in the door.
It is 12 Loth German Silver.
But i have no idea, which town it is.
I dont thinkt, that it is Hamburg.

Could it be Marienburg/Malbork?

Hi,
Could you try another photo of the mark, just the one in the shield, it is very dark and difficult to view.

Regards, Tom

Marienburg/Malbork is correct; the maker is Carl Ludwig Kafemann (1808-1894), a third-generation Malbork silversmith, the son of Daniel Christoph Kafemann Jr. (1771-1817) and grandson of Daniel Christoph Kafemann Sr. (working 1761-1796)
