    both W and G look like marks by an assay master. the one with the zigzag (Tremolierstich) was probably by the silver guild to be sure that it was 12 Loth minimum or more. the G was most probably for taxes and export to other countries.
    you will not find anything precise without a good library with the old reference books that would cost you an arm and a leg.
    for further research use "Beschaumarke" or "Beschauzeichen".
