Could please identify the silver marks on this milk jug:

Looks to me as it is Italian. The maker is CAF? Who may this be?

well the 800 tell us that its max age is after the introduction of 1000 parts instead of the lod calculation/mark
But that you proberly knew already.

I see half moon and then the Crown is there - I carnt see the Crown, but am sure of half moon.
German new rococo style.

That is an interesting opinion. If it would be Germany the crown should be present and it should be after the moon I guess? So the crown should be between the crescent moon and 800, right? Do you think that the 800 silver purity mark was stamped over the crown and this is the effect?

Thank you for your time!
