Hi Riaz & Theoderich
The "Sword mark "for 833 fineness was used on silver small work without date letter, standard and office mark. Valid from 1906 till present.
The rectangle punch mark with B2V* is the makers mark for: J.M Visser (Bijkamp & Co.c.v). Registered from 1946 / 1975. City of Steenwijk, The Netherlands.
I believe the sugar sifter might be a replica of a model used in the late 18th century and made in the mid 20th century.
Regards,
Oel
