Re: Unknown stone and date mark

The "n" shape you mention is not a date letter but a Sheffield import mark, the date letter I cannot quite make out is on the other side of the 925 stamp, if you could post a clearer photo of the marks or the date letter, it would help. Admin will move the post to the correct section for y...

Re: Hanua, poss Nereisheimer marks for ID, London import

Thank you both for your help, also, Trev, I did think it more likely to be Edward Thompson Bryant's mark.

Mystery solved at last!

Hanua, poss Nereisheimer marks for ID, London import

I have an item that I am not sure if the marks are by B Nereisheimer & Sohne There is London import also present for London, 1892, but the importers mark is partly rubbed or badly stamped, but I think, is either Edward Thompson Bryant's or Elly Isaac Miller's https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.j...

Re: Help needed to interpret maker's mark

Could it be that another makers mark has been over stamped on the old makers mark, that is why reading it is difficult and also making it difficult to determine the maker.

Re: Sterling Fountain Pen

Unfortunately, your photo of the marks is not to clear, but the scales mark is English silver convention marks. Is that a leopard head beside the scales mark, if so, that is for London, the rest I cannot make out. If you can get a clearer photo using the macro feature on your camera (flower symbol) ...

Re: Need Help Identifying Marks on Silver Ring

The ring was assayed / hallmarked at Birmingham and the date letter looks to me to be either l for 1885 or t for 1893

No idea on the maker, sorry, maybe someone else can help with that mark, but I think the last letter has been obliterated.
