Looks like a castle (three towers) with an arrow in the door.
It is 12 Loth German Silver.
But i have no idea, which town it is.
I dont thinkt, that it is Hamburg.

Could it be Marienburg/Malbork?

Have you a sample?
In my books I cant find Marienburg in my Silverbooks.

Hi,
Could you try another photo of the mark, just the one in the shield, it is very dark and difficult to view.

Regards, Tom

Marienburg/Malbork is correct; the maker is Carl Ludwig Kafemann (1808-1894), a third-generation Malbork silversmith, the son of Daniel Christoph Kafemann Jr. (1771-1817) and grandson of Daniel Christoph Kafemann Sr. (working 1761-1796)
