I have searched & cannot identify this mark. I've search this site and other and googled until I could google no more. I believe it is from mid to late 1800's.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I think the boarshead mark might be the owner's crest. The picture below is of an owner's crest, but not exactly the same as yours.

Don't recognize the other set of marks. The mark to the far right probably was the makers initials. It's too worn for me to make out the letters. I cropped your picture to help someone else identify the marks.
