hallmarks on exterior of wide wedding band
Hello. I have a wide antique wedding band that has the following marks on the outside. I assume the band is silver but I suppose it could be platinum or white gold. I've searched for the marks but I've come up empty.
There is an A at the top of the mark on the right. That's all I can make out for sure.
In the mark on the left there is what looks like a 5 turned on its side at the top of the square. But that may be my aged eyes playing tricks.
The ring is 7/16" wide and weighs 0.3 oz on my postal scale.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Hi,
It is Porto, could be both gold and silver: if an eagle, then it is silver, if a deer (antler) then it is gold.

Oh thank you so much! I see I have at least one of the marks upside down.

800 gold is my best guess

No expert on this subject at all, but the mark looks like 833 to me.
