Hey frogchad, looks like cleaning did the trick! My hunch is it's a Belgian hallmark for .800 silver, apparently an unofficial/voluntary format according to this: https://www.925-1000.com/foreign_marks.html

The tughra monogram/seal hallmarks on those are based as fug, those are super cool little pieces fren. As you might imagine not too much Ottoman Empire silver made its way over here so I've never handled any personally. I'm curious what the larger engraved tughra says, maybe some fag on /int/ could help translate?

I don't have much to add but enjoyed reading this, it's cool that you're clued into the valuable niche items and have managed to score some cheapie numismatics too. Luv me some sterling guilloche jewelry and silverware, it definitely has a strong following but still feels like a hidden gem category, not many people know about or have ever even seen that sort of stuff before. It's among my favorite types of silver so I happily pick it up whenever priced right. Good luck scooping deals and saving treasures from the crucible fren.
