For what it's worth, I can make out the screw press trademark and 835S and nothing else at this point.

The additional mark of what looks like a “V” over layed on horizontal lines in an appropriately shaped cartouche raises another question. Is it for the actual maker or…?

::::: "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)

Great; definitely good to know. Thank you.
