This bracelet was recently purchased at an estate sale. Has a crack in the side of it, is fairly heavy and well made. A magnet does not stick to it. The piece feels old. I cannot find a match to the first hallmark. We feel the animal is a passant guardant but am looking to the experts. Not sure this is even British.

Hi,

It's Egyptian. I make it Cairo, 800/1000, 1938/39.
