Hi,
Anyone that recognize these marks?
I doubt it's solid silver but would still be interesting to know the origin.
Thanks in advance!

Hello
This is Moroccan from Fes فاس which can be seen in the lower part of the central medallion
The lower script reads معدن فضّة ممتازة and a literal translation is "excellent silver metal" but I don't know what that means in terms of silver content
The upper script is دار (dar) or "house of" but I can't make out the rest. Likely the name of the workshop
Hope this is of interest
Damon

Hi Damon,
This is highly appreciated! I will continue my search and find out somehow if it is solid silver. Have a nice day!
Best regards
