Thanks much, guys. Very helpful! Interesting to see that there are quite a few around with similar markings.

A pity indeed! Do you happen to have any example of what that may have looked like?
I'm thinking the wire wrap is made out of a silver-gold alloy rather than a plating, because it seems quite solid also after cleaning. It was black when I got it, similar to what you'd expect to find on old silver.
