Hi all, my excuses first of all for being junior posting on a forum
im quite new into research so any info could help. the head says 2 and 3? is it belonging to a specific family? im guessing because i live in brussels and found it here in old appartment
i found no other marks so far

Hi welcome to the forum. The Jason head with number 2 is indeed for Belgium, silver 2nd standard mark 833 fineness, used 1832-1869 . This standard mark punched in combination with office mark, often seen with the assayer' s mark and followed by a maker's mark. Perhaps those last two or three marks have been rubbed or unclear.

ok thanks a lot, on the first picture there also T marked
is that the makers' mark?

Please show us a clear enhanced image of the T mark and or all marks.
If it looks like T in square it could be the maker’s mark for; Godfried Thielen, silversmith with a workshop in Kleine-Brogel, Peer in Belgium, active 1843-?
