Hello, as has been mentioned on the German forum you contacted this looks like a modern Belgian maker's mark. But I somehow miss a silver hallmark. So I rather suspect this to be silverplate. A pic which is in focus might help. Regards, Bahner
The Kingdom of Belgium In accordance with the Order in Court of November 28th 1939, effective on January 1st 1942, voluntary hallmarking remains in existence, but makers may no longer use precious metal contents below 500/1000.
The standard of fineness of precious metal objects must henceforth be guaranteed. Either by the makers, importers and retailers using their personal responsibility mark a mark registered bij the Royal Belgian Mint, or by a mark of the only remaining assay office in the Royal Brussels Mint, or by foreign hallmarks.
Royal Belgian Mint
Registered responsibility mark of maker, importer and retailer are in a barrel shaped shield.

The number 3 could indicate silver 3rd standard fineness 800/000. To make sure you could have it tested for silver.
