    Any idea of country of origin. There is either nothing in the cartouche next to the "925" or something quite tiny as I cannot make out anything even with a loupe.

    Okay, here's a wild-eyed try at what two of them may be --

    As I look at the photo on the screen -- to the far left (nearest the 5 in 925) it looks like an X.

    Almost all the way to the right, it looks like it may be either a three-point crown or a group of balls (at least 3 but maybe 5). I'm leaning toward a three-point crown.

    I tried my hand at this mark without much luck. After cropping, zooming, editing the pic in a variety of ways, I have no answer. I can see the type of X that yourturn was referring to, but not sure if an X or a bird with wings extended??? The 3 or 5 ball thing on the right may well be a crown, but almost looks like a fleur-de-lis or a circle of 5 balls??? There may also may be another crown/fleu-de-lis/circle to the right of the X thing??? Anyway, am attaching some of the edited versions in hopes someone can make it out.

    Almost looks like it was intentionally defaced, perhaps a 1968+ Italian mark. Seems an unusual shape, is it square or rectangular, what size?

    Haha, Last Supper. It does look like.
    What's up with 1968?
    It is square shape with round edges. About 2 1/2" tall and 1 3/4" wide.
