This box belonged to the same owner as the English one from 1795 that I posted the other day. It looks Dutch to me, and from the handwriting I understand, it’s from 1818. I’d appreciate your opinion to confirm this. Thank you very much!
“Dit is eerst Regina af mijn zin” i think. Something to the effect of this is the queen of my liking (Regina being Latin not Dutch but commonly studied among high society)

Thanks Bartholomew! Actually, I saw that mark, but I don’t think it’s the same as the item’s, as it doesn’t have the horizontal lines. If we look at older Dutch markings, that same letter was used for items in 1818.

What’s your final opinion, please? Would it be 1818? Thank you

I think we should focus more on the mark of the craftsman (creator). That will give us a definitive answer.
APC, clean it gently, please (silver fineness mark).
