Hi,
I have this 18thc silver sauce ladle with what I assume is a Thomas Chawner maker's mark. However due to contraction of the marks because of where they are stamped and also general wear I am struggling to decipher them, can anyone help?

Hi Martin,
I don't think you're supposed to be able to read them.

Hi Trev,
Very interesting and a very plausible explanation.
Many thanks
