Hello!
This hallmark is on a Berber dowry cuff bracelet - perhaps someone knows of a website I could go to to break it down?
I've only found contradictions so far.
Many thanks - and if I've overstepped here by inquiring about a non bead item. I do apologize.
My best,
Linda

Hi Linda, I just asked a friend from Iran and he said, that the left one means "80", the right one is like the last letter of the Alphabet "z" and the middle one an unknown symbol, not a letter.

Thank you! FYI looks like 800 silver, Egypt origin (Fayum), now to figure out date.

Sorry…800, Cairo, early 60s if anyone is interested. I'll stop now.
