Hi
Quite a few makers had an angel with a sword and a scale in each hand as a quality mark. My guess is that the inscription says "ADRIAN KLINGLING" with "FEIN" below and "BLOCK ZINN" at the bottom. (Fine Pewter)
Adrian Klingling became a meister in Frankfurt 1744 and lived between 1714-1755. In that case your guess sounds good, except Frankfurt rather than Strasbourg, (Even though Strassbourg probably also was German at that time.)
