British Registered Design

Hello »vagon«

Welcome to the Forum.

The mark on yours cross isn't a »Hallmark« - it is the British sign, that that design is registered (Copyrighted).

Please look here: http://www.925-1000.com/registry.html

In yours case it is the Table 2.

I = class = Metal

13 = day = 13th

7 = parcel number

Rd = Registered

I = year = 1872

C = month = January

Signification is that the design was Registered on 13 January 1872 for a design, made in metal.

But the object itself is made after that date - maybe many years later.

Kind regards silverport
