Interesting hallmarks on fork

Hi there,

I have this fork, that appears to be Georgian in age. I’ve tried researching the hallmarks but have hit a wall. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thank you in advance,

Will

That crown in a pentagon looks like one of the old ones for Sheffield. But, if it’s sterling there should be a lion passant mark, I believe. The date letter doesn’t seem to match any for Sheffield sterling either. But, I’m not super knowledgeable about English silver. If it really is Georgian, the marks are extraordinarily clear, and seem newer to me than the monogram.

It is definitely not Sheffield nor is it British. I don’t have any positive idea about it.

Did other countries copy that crown in a pentagon that you know of? I didn’t think so, but that sure looks like an old Sheffield mark, though everything else is wrong.
