And the fineness is .800 (Arabic numerals for 80).
No state mark, no date letter.

Thank You very much for the information. I had no clue, the mark looked Asian to me. Also the piece is actually incomplete I believe, there are holes all the way through each beetle medallion (from top to bottom), like there was something hanging down from them at one time. Again Thank you for your input, it is greatly appreciated!
