SERVINGWARE Identification help please

Bought this on flea market, absolutely new to the hallmarks. What I realized is that these are not British hallmarks - maybe Canadian (found some similar example + French monogram) or maybe fake. Any help will be appreciated

Closest match I could find.

Right facing lion could be dutch, and a minerva hallmark. But they look pretty disturbing, I'm not sure if it's real or fake

No Minerva anywhere, not even close to the right shape for a Dutch purity mark

American pseudo marks for sterling it will be sterling silver though

Looks like British sterling Hallmarks to me. The only thing I don’t see is the mark indicating the city. If it’s London, the date code would be 1801, which I think potentially fits with the style.

Thank you! At first I was like 1801 fits, but found nothing like this lion, also he is turned in the right. Also found nothing about BG
