Hello, the "N" in a shield is the mark of Hanau maker Neresheimer, the two marks below look like Swedish import marks, as to the upper marks - sorry, no clue. Best wishes, Bahner

It is swedish import marks.
Crown and half moon is Germany after 1886.
Its funny - mark say 800 silver and swedish standard is 830 as the other mark says. So first mark gave it a lower silver content than it actually had.

looked again at the marks - it has 3 sets of marks.
One german halfmoon and crown + 830 + maker.
One set of swedish import marks - katfott + s (i.e. silver on imported products)
and the it has a third set of marks - the 800 mark + ?? so what country is that (The Netherlands??)

I'm a little confused was it made in Germany or Sweden? Or is that the mistery. Thanks for the help!

Its made in Germany after 1886 when I do not know, but you have had the name of the silversmith and town by Bahner.
