For British silver I use http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/index.htm to search for makers that are not listed on 925.com

I find it to be a good resource as they do have photos of the hallmarks to compare and I like that if you know the assay office, you can just look through that section for the maker.

Thanks for the link, I had a look and its pretty comprehensive, very impressed. I do struggle from time to time and this is exactly the website which will shorten my searching times. Once again thanks and much appreciated.
