Hi welcome to the forum, your image embedded:

Dutch miniature with pseudo maker's mark or city mark.

This pseudo maker’s/city mark is often seen in combination with other Dutch pseudo marks. For example:

See Jans Rinze Spaanstra; viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28590
Jans Rinze Spaanstra known miniature/toy maker.

Thank you very much for this answer and the links which you give, actually there are also two awls with initials , This joins photos, but thene it involves silver with a purity of 833 ?? sorry for my english

Hi, your English is good, no problem. The VB in a rectangle is another known pseudo maker’s mark. Yes, most likely 2nd silver standard 833 or 83.3% pure silver. Are there no other little marks, spread over the miniature?

I had time to make some photos, it seems to me that there is a track of awl under the base to see photo. Thank you again for your precious help best regards

Hi,


All pseudo marks, no Dutch (hall)mark or official maker's mark.

Best,

Oel.
