Dear Hose, thank you very much for you help. I'm sorry that I seem to be ungrateful. Every time getting help at this forum I am sincerely thanking those who helped me get an answer to my question. But I know that the posts not containing questions or useful information in many forums, including words of thanks, are spam. Therefore, I always thank for the help in advance.
Yours faithfully, Elena.

Greatful help Hose_dk.
I take this Infomations in my page - there is in east prussia the town Braunsberg with a similar hallmark.
I take this hallmark to compare the differences.
Unfortunately I have no picture of a Braunsberger hallmark in my gallery.

Visby Gotland used the sheep and banner in city seal.
But for silver they used W.
So no mistake there :-)
