This means 0.935 or 93.5% silver.
American sterling is 0.925 for jewelry. Fine silver coins are 0.999. Previous answer is correct but I do not know what country that standard is for.
I can't find anywhere that uses 0.935 as a standard. Could this be a mis-read 925?
If it is on a piece of jewelry, ask an Estate jeweler. Maybe s/he would be familiar with a foreign standard.
935 is the purity for Argentium silver. Argentium silver is NOT sterling silver. It is a different alloy which has germanium in it which makes it less prone to tarnishing. Sterling is an alloy that has more copper in it. The copper is added to fine silver in order to make it stronger.

The marking "935" on jewelry indicates that the piece is made of 93.5% silver, making it a high-quality silver alloy, similar to sterling silver, which is typically 92.5% silver. This designation is often used for silver items that may require a higher silver content for durability or aesthetic reasons. Jewelry marked with 935 is considered to have a higher purity than standard sterling silver.

The 935 indicates the grade of silver (likely European), which is slightly higher than sterling. The HB is a hallmark stamp and could indicate a maker or a cycle indicating when the piece was made. Without any more information of the piece, it would be difficult to tell exactly what the HB stands for.

The 835 mark indicates the purity of silver jewelry, by parts per thousand. So "925" denotes sterling silver, at .935/1000, while "835" is alloyed to a greater extent with other metals. 835 silver was used (most commonly in vintage European jewelry) when "hallmark" or sterling quality was not specifically desired.
