Hi Glen,

Your mark image is too small to be seen. Please post a larger image.

Here is larger image of mark it's the middle mark that im not sure of and looks like an asterisks with eight points

From what I can see, that is a generic mark used by several English platers. It is thought to represent an animal hide and is an indicator that the piece has a covering of silver.
