Hello,
The identification of silver is completely new to me, and as you can see I am also new to this site. I recently bought a set of silver knives. It came in a box which says: Watchmakers to the admiralty/ EST 1870/ Grant & Son/ South shields North shields/ Jarrow on Tyne. Carlisle
I would now like to know if the hallmarks stamped in the knives are indeed related to this company.
So here are some pictures of the hallmarks and the knives in total. I also made a little sketch, because I have trouble getting really clear pictures.
So basically I would like to find out if the box the knives came in is original. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly apreciated.
