Need some help to identify this silver hallmark, please!
Hello everybody,
I need some help to identify this silver hallmark and maker´s mark on the bottom of a ″Habsburgian″ Empire Baroque silver beaker, dated by style circa 1690/1700, depicting the HRR Emperor Leopold I.
The hallmark and the maker´s mark are not fully visible, so I guess it is even more problematic to identify it. Any guess what this hallmark stands for? Maybe I took the picture from the wrong side and the maker´s mark M... is the hallmark W?
Many thanks in advance for your kind help.
Best Flintstone

Dear Theoderich,
thank you very much for sharing your opinion with me. Maker´s mark "MK" is an interesting hint.
But in case the second silver mark is the hallmark, I should turn the beaker 180° around and then the silver mark "M" is the letter "W". Or would you say that the hallmark can also be situated on the right side, this means second place?
Best regards

dear flintstone
there are some other shots in the sky
Merseburg:
Martin Klies, oo < 1678 .. 1702 ..
Moritz Krölle, .. < 1693 < ..
about the Differenz of W and M
I have seen many of this and in most cases a M is different to W
this is an example of the difference
