What is puzzling is that it is a number, while many others use capital letters which seem to have nothing to do with the initials of the maker represented...

I thought that the odds have shown us that the stylized figure is not a '3' but a 'Z', as approached now and a while back

And yes, the foggy pictures provided show no evidence of the discussed mark being that of one of the suggested smiths, also as here approached
