Not so much an assay office error, but more likely the case that the silversmith has failed to specify where he wanted the marks struck, and thus the primary and secondary marks on the handles of this shoe horn and button hook set have ended up back-to-back with each other:

A pair of napkin-rings by R. & W. Sorley assayed at Glasgow in 1924. The marker appears to have changed his mind as to which size of stamps to use!

I have a sugar sifter spoon from Chester, 1897 that has a full set of hallmarks, twice! When I figure out how to attach an image I’ll post it. All the best
