Standard A835 for Belgium. Not sure why third mark which is tower-like (2 or 3). Maker is HH with possible embellishment (*) after last letter. Bruxelles souvenir.

Thanks Oel. I had myself too convinced the third mark couldn't be a sword. I'll take it that the A is the date for 1985, and this combination-mark style is a form of small mark. Also just now noticed the Dutch Makers Mark search engine (that's what happens when you where tri-focals) and used it successfully to get the same result. The resources on this site are great, but the people who can help direct you are even better! I Regards!

Your welcome. Typical Belgian fineness mark.The A stands for Argent / Argentum for silver not a year letter. The third little mark is not the sword mark perhaps a Belgian retailer's mark.

Best,

Oel.
