The pic shows all 4 marks, the date stamp, the partial lion passant, the city mark (I believe) and the very rubbed makers mark showing only the faint remains of either a W or M.

Further to this I believe the hallmark ends in a W or maybe starts with an M?

The style of cellar reminds me of Edward Wood but the partial hallmark does not really correspond.

Would anyone hazard some possibilities?

Thanks AG2012, that worked a treat.

Is anyone able to shed some light on the omission of city marks on English Georgian sterling in general?...

Numismatists would agree in whole. Removing the patina on old silver coins would destroy the value.

Thank you Trev & Steve, I will consider this case closed.

I totally missed on the whole duty mark thing, lesson learnt.

Thanks for the fast response. I will scale the pictures down a little next time.

Regards,

Irrespective of its origins or later work it is lovely.

Hi there, I am having issues identifying the London date mark on this sterling silver salts. Its either 1780 or 1820 I guess. From what I have read it should not have a duty mark, which it does not, the city mark should be the same for both dates (crowned leopard), I believe even the silversmiths ma...
