Hallmark on miniature rabbit set

Hello All,

I’m new to this forum and to collecting.

I just purchased this set of miniature rabbits from a private party who was unable to offer any information (age or where they originated) about the set. I've researched the Internet and looked through your site referencing hallmarks and was unable to find anything.

Below are photo attempts of the hallmarks. Please forgive the poor quality of photos as it was extremely difficult to photograph anything this small. I believe the hallmark to be a star outline 405 AR or star outline105 AR. I tried to read the hallmark with a 17x jewelers loop and I'm still uncertain as to what is there. The 925 is legible on all pieces and the hallmark is on the largest piece twice.

The set consists of one large rabbit with branch, one small rabbit washing its face, one small rabbit eating a carrot and one rabbit scratching its ear.

Any information is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for your assistance.

Respectfully,

Kathy Block

Italian, after 1968, 405 would be the maker's code, AR would be the Arezzo province.
