That's the circular trademark of the retailer, the Mitsukoshi Department Store.

The second mark is, of course, a jungin mark.

David your knowledge is amazing!

so this is Japanese silver, any chance to narrow it down datewise?

[niceguy1]

I should add that the inside is more oval shaped rather than round, or is it just bent out of shape?
