I have just bought a silver snuff box - late victorian (I originally thought it was Dutch) - see image
[
On the rim of the base are 2 marks - see left hand side of second image

The first looks like AV in a hexagon with a smaller A in the upper left hand corner (which I have seen described as an Austrian Import mark - is this true?). The second mark looks like a pair of oval marks with a cross hatch line pattern.

Underneath the box are a pair of marks - see right hand of image One looks like a leaf and the other is an upper case A with a pair of dots either side

Can anyone please give me any information about these marks? - country of origin? date? maker? etc

Hello, looks indeed like the import mark of the Vienna office, used 1891 - 1901. As to the other marks - they look like pseudo marks. The object seems not to be very old, it was probably made either in Hanau or in the Netherlands. Best wishes, Bahner
