It is not an Austrian export mark but an Austro-Hungarian import mark used 1901-1921. Maker is Deyhle, Schwäbisch Gmünd.

A.P. might be the silver worker or the seller.

Hello, for A.P. Alfred Pollak comes to mind, a major maker of silver holloware and flatware, with production facilities in Prague and shops in Budapest and Vienna. Have seen this combination of import mark and A.P. on other pieces from German silver manufacturers, Bruckmann among others. Regards, Bahner
