Thanks again for all your help in advance.

The lozenge with cut sides is typical of the coding mark issued to Italian silversmiths. If you carefully clean this mark with a cotton bud dipped in hot soapy water, it may reveal further detail. The '800' contained in an oval is again a typical fineness mark that was used in Italy.
