Hi John,

From what I can make out, they appear to be Glasgow marks from the 1949 - 1963 series.

What are the letters in the maker's mark?

Hi Trev, the makers mark appears to be RA.

Then the maker is very likely to be Robert Allison. They were in business from 1941 until 1982. They entered marks at Glasgow and Edinburgh and were makers in silver of many forms of Highland jewels and regalia.
