Hi Adam, On the face of it, I see no reason why the piece should not be OSP, but judging for that style of manufacture from images alone in an absolute minefield. A lack of marks is often the case with OSP, and often just a small workman's' mark is all there is to be found struck. In this case what ...

Hi Mia, Welcome to the Forum. I think this just another of the many trade terms used on gold filled jewellery. See: http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=40047 The '2' may be an internal factory reference, perhaps relating to size. The other letters maybe 'Rolled' (marked upside dow...

Hi Sherry, Welcome to the Forum. http://www.925-1000.com/td/f/London/Import-IBB-1975.jpg These are London import marks, so the only information it will provide is the import date into the UK, in this case 1975.
