That would be Dutch, first standard (.934), date letter F for 1890. The assay letter (in the helmet) appears to be C, which according to Tardy, at least for the later period, dsignates s'Gravenhage. The maker's mark is the VK mark; I have no references for them, but DB and others may be able to help there.
