Good afternoon.
Sorry if this is not the exact topic to ask about
I got a fork with this mark at a Japanese antique market, but to my knowledge I don't know which country's hallmark it is from. I would like to know if anyone has any information.

Thank you for all the details about everything!
I didn't know anything about silver in the Netherlands, so I will use this as a reference to learn more.
I really appreciate it!
