Swedish, based a couple of things: the mark you suggest may be a crown is actually three crowns (one on bottom two on top). And the L8 mark seems to match their date code for 1937.
Added: the S mark is the .83 purity standard explained here: http://hallmarkwiki.com/?ShowHallmark=13967
From what I understand the first mark will be the makers mark, second will be the city. I suspect the name inscribed was the owner.
