English Chester Hallmark ? Help with date code. Thanks

Postby ejenie » Tue Feb 19, 2013 1:58 pm

Hi

This is an English sterling silver buckle bracelet. I think they may be Chester hallmarks but can't id the date code 'S'. Any help appreciated!! Thanks for this fine resource for silver.

Hi,

It looks somewhat malformed but it appears to be 1943, which fits in nicely with the makers who were Ward Brothers (Birmingham) Ltd., 124, Branston Lane, Hockley, Birmingham.

Trev.

Never new who WBS was as I've run across that maker many times - so I appreciate that. I see that 'S' would be 1943 - though strangely malformed.

Have a great day and thanks again!
