Does anyone recognize this hallmark? It’s on a European tea set, which appears to be from the Art Deco era. The maker’s mark (on the left) appears to be an A and C with a fly in the middle:
The “A800” is a Belgian mark indicating .800 silver purity, used from 1942 to 1990. The “A-something-C” is the maker’s mark, so far unidentified.
Thank you Bartholomew.
Thank you JeffTucker. I’m also trying to identify the maker’s mark.
Since this is within the last century, the information is probably out there, somewhere. Might be fiendishly difficult to track down, however!

@JeffTucker - that’s what makes it so fun, doesn’t it?
I originally thought it was a “bee” between A & C (which seemed somewhat clever), but most bee hallmarks have very different wings (typically extending out horizontally from the body). I now believe the middle figure is more likely a “fly” or some other similar insect.
