Hi Mandy,

Just to get the ball rolling, it's Italian.

The mark on the right is the Cross of Saints Maurice & Lazarus used 1824-1873 by the Kingdom of Piedmont & Sardinia. It is the mark for large items and denotes the second standard of 800/1000 silver.

Maybe this the anchor mark?

The third mark might be the mark of the mint; a better image could confirm.

Hi Amena
I have tried to get a better photo, hope this is a little better, i have had a look and have seen a mark that looks a little like this one, could this be for Novara as it does look something like a horses head
Thanks for your help
Regards
Mandy

Hi Mandy
Yes, even if it is badly struck, seems to be the horse's head of Novara.
So it all match and your object is completely identified
