… And I want to add. I am sure (100% !!!) that there are the Germany marks on my item. This is a crescent (half-moon) and a crown. Are there Dutch mark on the item from Germany?

The 'V' mark (it's upside down in the photo) was applied to foreign silver imported into the Netherlands as proof of tax payment.

Hi! Ok. But why the letter "V"?

Hi,

This particularly V has been used in the Netherlands as a duty mark for imported gold and silver objects.
The capital letter V stands for the Dutch word ‘Vreemd’, Foreign in English. This mark is of two sizes. It gives no guarantee of standard of fineness. It was intended for imported objects only. It was however sometimes by mistake used on old objects of Dutch origin. Valid from 1893 till 1953. This V sometimes can be seen in combination with pseudo or fake foreign marks on dubious silver objects.

Regards,

Oel
