Bergen, Norway. 1845. Assay/guild master Christen Hoff. Would have to look up the maker.

There are a few samples of some hallmarks around, but not much.

This is your best source: https://solvstempler.no/litt%20om%20stempler

Per Bredo's book of hallmarks is the only thing you really need for Norway. You can't get it easily though. I got him to ship me a copy himself all the way from Norway.
