Thanks for posting a photo of the matchbox, but I'm not sure that it is any help to me. I was half hoping it to be a European make. The marks don't necessarily need to be a makers' mark, although I think in this case Wayward is probably right, it could just be the city where it had been Assayed mark. I was initially thinking Turkish, but at the time this was made I think that it would still have been the Ottoman Empire, and they had very distinctive markings.
Anyone able to date the matchbox? That will at least tell you the youngest that this piece can probably be.
