R.P. springs to mind Robert Pringle, I know he had a prolific silversmith business in England but unsure if they went into the jewellery side of things, any chance of a photo?

Hello Another Gold Maker/sponsor to identify please, this time on a substantial 18ct London 1870 Ring, apologies for the poor photograph but the maker's mark appears to be "W&A.M." in a rectangle. Any known history on the maker? Regards Simon http://i50.tinypic.com/w1bvy0.jpg .

Good evening I'm going to have a stab at this... It looks to be a Russian Imperial Cipher (a monogram of MM Intertwining surmounted by a crown) - the Imperial Crown of Russia at the top. This may have been made as a gift or a royal commemorative piece - the initials MM could be for Grand Duke Michae...

Hi Trev
Thanks for the info, it could be an unrecorded or lost cursive mark of William Harrison (or one of the other many smallworkers)

Hello all Mike - Yes you are right, I have misread the mark - the M is slightly obscure and has been misread by me as H. Incidentally, I have recently managed to find the pictorial crest resource on GoogleBooks that Trev and various forum members use (this being "Heraldry of Crests" by Elv...
