Anyone recognize this triangylar mark on a large silver bar?

This bar weighs approximately 75 troy oz (5 lbs 2 ounces). The only markings are this triangle looking thing and what appears to be a serial number.
The bar isn't in my possession, but it seems to be silver. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Correction: there are two bars shown in the picture. Each weighs approx 75 troy oz.

It did ping decently well, though not like 90%+ pure silver.
The plot thickens. Could it be Tin with a specific gravity of 7.5?
Why wouldn't someone mark it if it was?
That's an "A" over an "M" but I do not know who makes that.
W over V maybe too also as well?

Why wouldn't someone mark it no matter what metal it is?
I'm guessing the bar had a paper label which has long since been lost or it came in a wooden box with several other similar bars for industrial use with the wooden box labeled. Tin is the main component of pewter.

It was likely intended to be used shortly after receipt whatever it is.

Edited to add: the link does not work. Look up Antimony in wikipedia.
