Greetings.

I have had no luck witth the whole puzzle, but I've found some tidbits which may or may not be helpful...

Likely a date mark; so many assay offices used a 'C' in a round cartouche, however, that this part of the puzzle will likely only be helpful when the rest is solved! >

Looking in Miller's 'Silver & Sheffield Plate Marks', I found a couple of fleur de lis: York: 'The original mark was a half-leopard's head with a fleur de lys joined together in one shield, followed with a sequence of date letters and makers' marks. The half leaopard's head was replaced by a half-seeded rose by the end of the 17th cent, and in 1701 it was changed to five lions passant on a cross.'

Lincoln: The town mark was derived from the city arms and depicted a fleur de lys. The mark is most commonly found on spoons'

Lille, France: 1750 and 1770, a fleur de lys with a crown on top.

Sounds possibly like a British 'Registered' mark; sorry I have no info handy on registration marks.

Hope this helps!
