    I think it is Portuguese marked pewter??? Estanho Puro 95% translates pewter that is 95 % pure tin. Also SN is the symbol for tin. In many countries pewter markings include symbols, etc... for tin. For instances in Spanish estaño is tin and pewter. The maker is probably the script FD in the middle of the touchmark. Now if Portuguese it could be from Portugal or Brazil

    Query about Portugal pewter touchmark. Specifically see the last reply by Cheryl.

    I agree. The 95% is a dead give away regardless of language or country.
