Danish?? Silver hallmarks on navy bosun's whistle

Hello, I am new to the forum and this is my first posting. I recently picked up an old navy bosun's mate whistle and I am trying to identify the silver hallmarks. From looking on the website and forum, they seem similar to Danish hallmarks, but not exactly. I collect these old whistles and from the shape and construction of the whistle, I would date it to the late 19th Century or early 20th Century. Any help identifying the hallmarks would be appreciated. Thank you, Richard

Thank you Trev, Looks like that is it! And from that information, it appears that it is a little older than I thought, early to mid-19th Century. Which makes it one of the oldest ones in my collection. I appreciate the help! Best regards, Richard
