Silver or silvered? Thanks
better pictures of marks needed. Most likely silver.
Thanks for reply.
Well these marks I have not seen before. So I cannot assist.
Though the mark in picture nr 2 are not silver marks. The P (most likely) will be for plated. So that one is not silver but electroplated.
The horce mark I originally mistook for a french Minerva mark, but with second picture I see that it is not a face.
Sorry that I could not help.
Nothing looks familiar to me. Could the third one be Russian? - the mark appears to include the Cyrillic letter Ц (pronounced ts). None of the marks appears to include any indication of fineness so we can’t say what material they are made of.
Russian “Ц. ****” is common mark for fabric goods and means short for “Цена” (Price) and tells us that it costs 0.76 rubles=)
Unfortunately I don’t recognize other hallmarks.

Maybe “EE” is estonian mark of the soviet period?
P.S. This is not silver If it is soviet one.
B. Drost Gz Pako Metaalwarenfabriek was a Dutch manufacturer based in Rhenen, Netherlands and active between 1955 and 1993.
“Pako” is derived from *Paardekooper, while “B. Drost Gz” refers to the founder.
The factory produced enamel thimbles and silver miniature items such as teapots, benches, and snuffers.
Items made by them feature a “P” for Pako and sometimes a horses’ head symbol.
Their items are identified as Dutch silver or silver-plated.
If there is any connection between the Dutch metalworks which went bankrupt and the Royal Paardekooper Group founded in 1919 as a family business, which provided packaging to companies which also went bankrupt destroying 700 jobs recently other than the same family name and both going bankrupt , I cannot find it.
