Re: Date Mark

That's 1931/32. The later 1956 O has verticals which thicken in the middle:

This JB is Joseph Braham and I note that the date letter is R for 1892/93.

Re: Asprey salver - puzzling hallmarks

Sheffield's town mark changed from crown to rose on 1st January 1975 when all four British Assay Offices synchronised their date letters starting with "A". London, Birmingham and Edinburgh retained the same town marks but Edinburgh replaced the thistle symbol for sterling with a lion rampa...

Re: ingot Pendant

Impossible to date but a lot of sterling silver ingot pendants with feature hallmarks were produced around the time of the Silver Jubilee (1977).

Re: ingot Pendant

I suspect it's gold-plated on a base metal. The marks are not a British gold mark and, as you point out, not a silver mark either.

Re: England 18 carats

Gold hallmarks don't follow exactly the same pattern as those for silver so it comes down to matching the letters exactly.

Re: Does 925A mean high-end British silver?

925A has never been a British silver designation. You may have been thinking of the use of A (and A1) on electroplate to denote a manufacturer's best quality.

Re: Please help me identify this brooch

It is most definitely Edinburgh and the date letter appears to be the Q of 1990. The sponsor's mark is MG which is the mark of Ortak Silvercraft of Kirkwall, Orkney, the initials being those of Malcolm Gray.

Re: Information needed on Fitzmaurice West of 1 St James's St

(does anyone know which King Street?) The 1884 Post Office London Directory gives his address as 9 King Street, St James, SW and his business as "dressing case manufacturer". Your 1839 start date seems right as he is not listed in the 1838 directory, but is in the 1839 directory at 1 St J...

Well, it's definitely an import mark but your picture is too unclear to see the finer details. I assume it's London as it is with a London mark that I have seen this (unknown to me) AJ sponsor's mark and that the date letter is from the 1916-1935 cycle. It may be "n" for 1928 or "u&qu...
