Italy 925 silver identification.

Just picked up a nice piece of silver. I was slightly worried at first because it was very mildly magnetic.This chain is over 5 oz. Its clearly stamped all over and looks legit. I had it acid tested by two different jewelers. They both say no doubt its sterling and they must have used a base metal to flash coat for the rhodium coating to stick to. I learned something new here as I always thought silver should never be magnetic. Apparently this rhodium plating has been around for awhile and more and more people are seeing "magnetic silver".

I am however completely stumped on this makers mark if anyone can help identify. Im hoping to track down the maker to understand more about the metal composition.

I found a user in the forums with the same stamp but no answer. Here is the image of that one.
