Hello
I assume this bracelet is european but I have no idea about the hallmark. There are 2 hallmarks but 1 is no longer visible.
Can anyone help? I assume 19th or even 18th century? Maybe portuguese or spanish? Thank you!

Just a guess

Hi,

There is a Portuguese mark that is similar, but the likely place of origin for this one is Libya.

Great, thank you! Never thought of Libya due to the not so typical design.
Would you agree with a date of about 1880-1900 or is the bracelet of a later date?
