There were two date letter punches used by the Dublin Assay Office in 1810. The most commonly seen is the one with the engrailed top, as seen in the Dublin date letter chart. An alternative mark used in that year was with a flat topped shield with hollow corners. Trev. Hi! Thank you for your reply....

Hi! I am sure that my saltcellars are from Dublin, and to all appearance it was stamped in 1810 year. But why does the cartouche have the rounded contour, and it is not such as on the plate: http://www.925-1000.com/dlc_dublin.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://10pix.ru/img1/4...
