Your box is Danish silverplate, the two-tower mark has been used for plate since the late 1800s, the P-in-oval is for Plet-sølv (silverplate), the D-A w/hammer is for the Dansk Arbedge (Danish works), a Danish trade association that promoted a campaign similar to "Buy American" in the U.S., believe its use started in the 1920s. Would guess the other mark is the maker's, but I can't make it out on my monitor. Not sure if it's supposed to be a fleur-de-lis, but it definitely has a nice Skonvirke-style feel to it.
