Hello Rhodri

The mark (Grimwade 1543) comprising the letters IN in an oval with a star at the top entered at Goldsmiths Hall by John Nelson in 1721 seems a possibility.

Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Looks good to me : ) wasnt sure if it was IN or IM but no IM's seem close and Nelson looks very similar! Haven't had my copy of Grimwade long still getting the hang of it!
Thanks for your help,
Rhodri
