Need Help to identify hallmarks on sterling dinner plates

[likewho]

I have some old sterling silver dinner plates that I am having trouble identifying. They appear to have the British hallmark for .925 sterling along with a possible makers mark and date mark "L" but I have been unable to verify who the maker nor determine the date of manufacture.

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate the help.

Here is a picture of the dinner plate and hallmarks:





Thank you in advance for all of your help.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

An amazing plate, and you say you have 'some'!

The 'some' is good news, for unfortunately none of the marks you have shown relates to the maker.

See: http://www.925-1000.com/british_marks.html

The first mark, the Lion Passant, indicates the Sterling standard 925/1000.
The second is the Crowned Leopard indicating that your plate was assayed at London.
The third is the date letter that would appear to be for 1726.

Hopefully some of the others will show a maker's mark. It would be good if you could post photo's of the other sets of marks so that we can be sure of the date.

Thank you for the welcome - here is a better picture of the hallmarks.

I hope someone can help me identify them.

Hello,
Trev has already identified each of these marks. However, there should be one other mark, probably composed of two letter - this one will identify the maker, please go over the pieces thoroughly and see if you can find it and post an image of it.

Confirm the date as 1726/27 and those are quality plates with the keen gadrooning round the edges and a beautifully engraved armorial.... Would suspect that the makers initials will be on it and would love to know who made them. Please post a pic of makers initials. Best wishes, Mike.
