David Andersen Piece - Tiny Stamps?

I have a David Andersen piece and was hoping you could help me. It is a large butterfly and on of the antennae are a series of very tiny stamps. Briefly the stamps are: probably DB in a square, 925 in an oval (this of course stands for sterling), what looks to be a circle with 4 radiating stick arms in an oval, and finally a gothic looking letter - possibly an H or and OH or a JH. Can you help tell me about these stamps? Are they city stamps? Designer stamps? Date stamps? Thank you kindly.

Hi Bron!

These marks are British import marks used after 1904.

Very helpful JAKJO! Based on what you gave me I looked at additional information. I can now assume the import city was London and the date was 1982. Not sure who DB is but maybe the importer. Thank you very much.
