Help needed marks on German Fountain pen

Hello all I am new to this wonderful site which at last will allow me to identify my infrequent continental pieces. I Hope!
I have not started well as my 925 silver fountain pen made in Germany sometime in the past 20 years bears marks which I cannot identify from those recorded in the archives.
The marks are tiny and I have scanned them at various resolutions as photography is beyond me in this case.
Anyone seen anything similar?
Any idea of maker?
What is the logo in the rectangular bottom mark?
All help and comment will be gratefully received.
Cheers
Dave

Hi,

The sword is the Dutch hallmark for small silver articles after 1955. The mark in the rectangle is the mark of a Dutch importer (whose name I can't find). You can recognize the marks of Dutch importers by the + sign.

Hope that helped,

Alain

Hi Dave,

Welcome to the Forum.

Here's a clearer picture of that mark:
