Hi,

No this is a Dutch tax mark for foreign object.
Dutch script-letter V; duty mark for imported gold and silver objects, the V for the Dutch word ‘vreemd’ which translate to foreign. The mark gives no guarantee of standard of fineness. It was intended for imported objects only. It was however sometimes by mistake used on old objects of national origin.Used 1906-1953

For more information see Dutch Hallmarks.
