Unregistered makers/sponsor marks

Post by Peartree »

Hi, is there someone who would like to give me, or direct me to, a quick education on unregistered (18th century) marks. Why did makers not register? Having not registered how did they get their pieces assayed? Were unregistered makers marks illegal?

Thank you

Anthony
