I think A 835 is Belgian Silver, but i am not realy sure about it.
What does 835 stand for?
Can someone tell me what the initals JB stands for?
Information about the other hallmark, and this item in general, would be greatly appriciated.

Thank you for your time,

835 is most likely 835/1000 parts of silver. A very common percentage of silver.
Sorry I dont know the other marks.

Hello, the „A 835“ is a Belgian quality mark introduced in 1942. The maker is J. Beck from Schwäbisch-Gmünd, Germany. I believe what we see here at the left hand side is a corrupted halfmoon with crown. See here

for the maker’s mark. Best wishes, Bahner
