Trying to figure rough date on this?

can anyone tell me what the indention hole might be??

 

It's Dutch - you should be able to find a date mark like those shown here: https://www.925-1000.com/Fnetherlands_Date_Code.html. Not sure what 'indention hole' you're referring to...

Hehe- I looked at this. https://www.925-1000.com/americansilver_M2.html That I had on another piece. Thank you!!!!

 

@DragonflyWink maybe it's a stamp rather than a hole. It doesn't go all the way through

 

If you're talking about the one INH reposted, it's a Minerva-head as she suggested - look for another mark with one of the date letters shown on the Dutch marks link and that will give you the year...

(Good to see you back posting, INH.)

My eyes must be very tired!! All I can see, is a distinct cat head....with a definite "A"!!!
EDIT: ROTATED.....better NOW, @i need help???

​

 

OR was someone making reference to this by the hinge on the back??

I see clearly a right walking lion with a number underneath from 1814 - 1953. if nr 1; sterling silver if nr 2: 2nd grade Silver
the other marks is not clear enough

 

Laura posted this box before, and I think I spotted a 2 then. 2nd fineness is .833. 1st fineness, .934, would have a lion rampant.

It is, an A for the 1st office of Amsterdam.
Amsterdam had two assay offices, the second one had this mark: .A. , only with bigger dots.
