    I've never seen signatures like that before on chinese silvers that's why i'm guessing it must be japanese . Also when it comes to the second three characters, last character looks like 舎 to me, which is =shè , a variant of kanji 舎=sha =house?building?shop maybe? sad to say that's all I know:)

    Very nice, nafuhao, and welcome.
    I don't know the second mark, but the style is Japanese imo. The way the dragon repoussé is made, and they often used that 'pitted' texture. Although they weren't the only ones.
