Peter.

Just some background and names for that “squiggly line” or “zig zag”: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6550

Petter Ersson Lund (1713-49), Stockholm 1743. The crowned head is that of Saint Erik, patron saint of Stockholm. I assume there isn't the three crowns mark (introduced in 1750s) so the G=1743 would indicate a date before the current practice started in 1759. Petter Ersson Lund's son Petter was also a silversmith and used similar looking PL initials mark but then the date would have to be G=1765.

Just for the records: The Swedish small cat's paw (tre kronor) was introduced in December 7th 1752 and entered into force in January 1st 1754. The punch was completed with a bigger version in April 17th 1764, used on larger objects.

Thank you kindly. The top is engraved mars 4, 1742. And has these lovely cupids eating grapes on the handle. You're information is very helpful
