Does anyone recognize this hallmark?

I have a sterling silver handle carving set and I can't find this hallmark. I had to draw the hallmark because, my camera will not focus.

Could it be a lightly marked or worn Franklin mark?

This thread may explain the silverplate company connection if the mark fits:

I think you are right!!! Thank you!

It looks like it could be but, it's sterling silver not plated and the hallmark isn't stamped.

It is the closest marking I have found.

Does anyone recognize the pattern?

Click on the second link and let me know if that doesn't clear up the sterling/silverplate question. Sorry, I don't know the pattern.
