Hi all!
Maybe anybody knows this mark? Maybe it's not from Europa?
Will be grateful for any information.

Hi Alex,
The 'N' appears to have a bar running across it, if so, it identifies Gennaro Mannara as the assayer, he was working during the period 1835-1863.
Are there no other marks on the piece?

Hi Trev!
Thank you very much for your very interesting reply!
Indeed, there is a strip crossing the letter "N", but unfortunately there is no other marks.
I'll try to look for similar items on Italian silver auctions.
Best regards. Alex.
