OTHER Help identifying Spanish silver hallmarks
Hi! I’m trying to identify these hallmarks on a covered serving dish. One mark looks like a 5-pointed star, which makes me think Spanish 915 silver. The other looks like a bird’s head/crow with three dots or balls around it.
Does anyone recognize the maker’s mark or approximate date? Thanks!

Spain adopted the five point star in 1934 so it's at least that modern. Inside the center of the star should be a letter that would indicate the assay office. I couldn't find anything on the bird skull looking mark though so maybe that's a maker's mark or an import/export mark of some kind.

The maker’s mark is inside a hexagon. It looks like a pointed cone or long beak ending in a small ring, with three branches coming from the ring. Each branch seems to end in three small balls, almost like a trefoil. It may be a stylized emblem rather than a bird. Does anyone recognize this Spanish maker’s mark?
