Fob Chain Stamp

Hi all,
First time here. Great site. Can anyone provide any information on this hallmark. It's not that well formed and worn but to me looks like an animal with a lizard like tail but a short bear like head.

Here's a link http://www.flickr.com/photos/diamondsdi ... hotostream

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

I feel that's more likely to be a maker's mark rather than a hallmark. As it 9ct., not a popular standard around the world, and not 9kt., then it maybe of colonial origin. The animal appears to be a beaver, perhaps Canadian?

Trev.

Hi Dognose,
Thanks, yes that makes sense. Thanks for your help.
