I have a silver bracelet with hallmarks I cannot identify. There are two marks, one which is symmetrical and appears to contain the number 3, the other which looks like a sword.

Engraved on the back of both parts of the clasp are the Roman numerals XV. The bracelet weighs just over 11 grams, is approximately 7" long and 1/2" wide.
