Can’t exactly make out the letters, but won’t be surprised if they turn out to be “EPNS.”

Thanks Silverly
I feel you may be correct,I now feel the first letter may be an N ,for NPS.
Did they the N first on some occasions?
As we know most standard hallmarks do not start with 2 letters.

Not the gothic letter N but E, yes I believe it to be EPNS

Pretty much everybody used EPNS, the gothic/Old-English form being particularly popular. It is a generic abbreviation.
