Hi,
I think I have identified the Lion as 22 Carat and the letter T as the date 1792. Could someone if possible help with the other markings please.
Thank you
Phill

Hi Phill,
Welcome to the Forum.
The date letter appears to be that of 1814. As for the maker, my money would be on Thomas Mayfield, a known goldworker. Although Grimwade makes no mention of a pellet in his mark, he was the only registered 'TM' in the goldworkers' register at this time.

Thanks for the swift reply Dognose , I got the 1792 date from this which was taken from the Assay Office , https://theassayoffice.com/home/date-letters. Is this not correct.
Thanks again

Hi Phill,
No, they are the date-letters used by the Birmingham Assay Office, your ring appears to be London marked.

[quote="Phill"]Hi,
I think I have identified the Lion as 22 Carat and the letter T as the date 1792 . . . .
The lion as 22 carat doesn't fit for me; am I missing something?

Until the 1816-1835 cycle 22carat gold and sterling silver shared the same set of hallmarks, including the lion passant [ref: Jackson].

Thank you! Fits fine for me now and good to know. Never too old to learn.
