I’m sure I wouldn’t recognize the mark, but it might help others if the mark image was in better focus and horizontal.

::::: Looks like a crude Thistle hallmark ::::: But who is the NN maker? ::::::: Has NN been seen before in Scottish Provincial Silver? :::::

I think the second N is an overstrike or chattered mark. I believe Nairn had a silversmith that could fit.

::::: I did think Nairn :::: Was wondering if the "N" was sort of a "town mark" for Nairn :::::: Been trying to image the letter before the first "N" and sometimes I think there is a letter there and sometimes I don't and of course the object in-hand is the best way to view everything but I still try. :::
