The mark is for the period 1814-1953. Though 800 silver was imported, it wasn't legal silver in those days. So this is 833 fineness. As af said, late 19th century style. I'll see if I can find the mystery mark. The F could be for Leeuwarden, the capital of Friesland, but this doesn't look like the Leeuwarden F, and it is in the wrong mark.
