It is a F - probably like Fürth?

Teodorich, thank you for your help.

I came along similar piece, bearing the same hallmarks. Below I show you the pictures of it. Maybe somehow it will be helpful or interesting for you.

I placed the picture of the inscription on it. Do you think it dates back to 1821 or is it added later on 1921?

If you have any further information on this topic please let me know. I will really appereciate it. Kindest regards,
Stanislaw

Hi Stanislaw and welcome to the forum,

In my opinion the engraving "Freiherr von Waltershausen" s. Paten 14. 9. 21" is added in 1921.

Best regards/JAKJO

Thank you for your information JAKJO.

I think interesting thing about these two items is that there are no maker's mark on them. Just the city mark and the silver standard numer (12 and 13).
