Hello, this is pattern 221 from the early 1930ies. The designer is not known. Regards, Bahner

::::: "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". :::::: (from the master thread by oel on Dutch silver hallmarks)
