Hi, I have been searching in google for ever but cannot find anything that resembles this silver hallmark. It’s in a fish slice with a popular design from first half of 18th century but the pattern does not seem European. Many thanks for the help.
I think this is Portuguese, assayed in Lisbon - but I could be wrong.

It came from Portugal - but I thought had been gifted from abroad. Still can’t find similar hallmarks. Thank you.

Indeed, found also the hallmarks per date in a French site. I think this one is 1814/6.
Thanks for the help, mystery solved.
