I would be grateful for any thoughts on who the maker of this dessert fork might be.

Help required to id maker's mark.
Re: Help required to id maker's mark.
Hi Martin,
The likely candidate is James Burbury, he registered in the same year that your fork was assayed, 1830. Jackson's does have a mark for him, noted from a dessert knife assayed in 1831, but with no pellet. Is that a pellet on your mark, or just a small imperfection?

Hi Trev,
Thanks for the reply, it is definitely a pellet as I have a set of 6 forks & knives and they all have the same mark.
