Austrian hallmarks
Re: Austrian hallmarks
What looks like ``R`` is probably just poorly cut mark; on top is ``13`` and ``B`` in circle.
Re: Austrian hallmarks
I'm a bit doubtful about it being a B, more likely an R for Kosice/Kaschau (in Slovakia in these days). The maker is unknown to me, sorry.

Re: Austrian hallmarks
Dear Qrt.S!
I checked the page you mentioned.
I guess you are wrong if you think this silver box made between 1866-1921
Best regards!

@ Krisztián
I don't "think" anything, the year on the punch is 1877, the letter is R and it was used in Kaschau 1866-1921 (in the mentioned source). Sorry my good man but a "guess" is not an answer. You are the expert in this area. Kindly tell me what is not in place.
Moreover, mind my saying but the letter is definitely not B. I don't know who the maker is but if you Krisztián can identify the maker and place him better, I will withdraw my statement immediately.

Re: Austrian hallmarks
OK, I made a mistake reading the year, sorry about that guys!
Re: Austrian hallmarks
The year is obviously 1787.
I agree with solo, the town could be Zaleszczyki,
I don't have any sources about Galician goldsmiths.
Best regards!
