Assistance please in deciphering Candle trimmer markings and age

Hello all,
This is my first post since the introduction. I've read the instructions and now is the first test to see if I understood them! So please be patient and let me know if I missed anything. I bought this is Cashel Ireland about 10 years ago, I think it may be Victorian but could be later.
I am trying to decipher the markings on this wick trimmer and get an idea when it was made so I can prepare for sale.
Any thoughts, knowledge or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.

 

Sorry don't know why files have come up twice.

 

You can delete them if you like. Just use the Edit button at the bottom of your post.

I think they are silver plate . I couldnt find the marks either but something is making me think Japanese.

 

For the middle mark I'm seeing:

Rgl
amd

 

You can enlarge photos all at once with a single click at the top of the list, or you can enlarge them individually. If you do both you get duplicates.

As Debora said, you can delete the extras after selecting 'edit' from the bottom of the post, just as you would in any other word processing program. You have to do this in the first couple of hours of original post.

Excellent photos BTW.

 

Thank you, I think I did LOL

 

Definitely can see Rgl and a?d. So M could be it, thank you

 

Thank you

 

Too worn for these old eyes, but it's unlikely to be other than English silverplate, the middle mark will be the maker's surname split on two lines (maybe 'and' for the second part?)

Ryland ???

 

It was so unclear to me, but that was what I thought initially, so took a quick look at English silverplate marks on Giorgio's site and found no mention, but reassured by your seeing it too, wandered around the interweb and found this 19th century ad buried there: https://www.silvercollection.it/DICTIONARYADVRYLAND.html

Didn't find an image of the mark, but either William Ryland & Sons in Birmingham or William Ryland in Sheffield seem likely makers, there was also a bit more found online including this: https://hawleysheffieldknives.com/n-fulldetails.php?val=r&kel=2865
