The sahape of the marks indicates Austria-Hungary Empire 1872-1921. (.900)

Thank you…..I know they aren’t British that’s blatantly obvious but I have not been able to find out the country or maker….but I will go down the Austrian Hungarian and see where it leads…..

I think, it is Johann Rössl in Wien.
