Hi gents,
I recently purchased this piece and am having trouble identifying the hallmarks. My best guess is a worn Dutch hallmark? I think older German or Hanau is another reasonable suspicion.
It tests as ~80% silver.
Makers marks are "UH" and then a right facing lion passant that appears in a circle.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi,
Not a Dutch maker's mark nor Dutch pseudo mark

:::: Is there any way it could be Belgium or Flanders? ::::: I know nothing about Flemish silver but occasionally I see multi-figure chargers listed as being from Flanders {but they could have been unmarked Hanau silver, who knows?). :::::::::
