Marks on Two Pin Cushions?

Can anyone identify the marks on the bellies of these two pig pin cushions? Both pin cushions test for sterling silver.

The piggie on the left has what looks like a flower (or cog wheel) next to a crown and the piggie on the right has a set of four marks which on first glance I though were English. The third mark looks like the Birmingham anchor but the other marks don't look familiar.

Thanks.

Hello Carling,

It looks like Austrian Silver assayed in Leutshau in the 19th century but I cannot be 100% sure.

Best Regards
