    Could be artist's name. ("Rafa" is short for Rafael.)

    More likely a factory, i.e a shed. That's a factory mark rather than an artisan one, at least the way I learned it. It's not particularly old, but it's cute.

    There are a few Mexican silversmiths named Rafael...None have the same "RAFA" marking...It could be a store or factory mark??...Just surprised that there is no information??
