Re: Robert Greig of Perth? Don't recognise the tulip(?) mark
Hi there A spoon with the RG and anchor (not tulip) mark was sold by Woolley & Wallis, their sale of a private collection of Scottish Provincial Flatware, Tuesday 27th January 2009, lot 251. Date estimated as 1820-30, and I think it was described as a Greenock maker, unidentified. It is seen the...

Re: Makers mark on Cuff-links
Hi there
I am Archivist here at the Incorporation of Goldsmiths. Rather than being a 1960's amateur still making today, I would say that the mark is that of Mark Charles Hutchison, trading as Mercator. The firm went out of business in 2009.
