Silver Coin Holder

[di2315]

Hello

I'm having great difficulty in identifying the hallmarks inside my silver coin holder, so am hoping that there's an expert on this forum who can assist me.
The mark on the left is an anchor, the centre one looks like a lower case gothic letter b, and the one on the right looks like a lion.
Below that are the letters W.H.W.

On the horseshoe that holds the coins in place are two marks - they look to be a repeat of the lion and the letter b.

Thanks for reading my post!

I think the maker is William Harrison Walter

The date letter looks the gothic v for 1895, but the marks are small, could you post a close up photo of the hallmarks (using the macro function on your camera, if it has one)

Forgot to add, the anchor is the mark for Birmingham assay office.

Thanks for that prompt reply - you've at least partly answered my questions.

Those photos are as good as I could get, and I was using the macro button on the camera.

I just discovered that if I copied the image (by right clicking on it), then pasted into a Word document, then I could enlarge that picture and it showed the stamps much more clearly. Are you able to do this?

I copied the link, brought it up in opera browser instead, as opera (my version) has a tool to enlarge photos just by clicking them, it is definitely a v for 1895

Thanks for verifying that, 701.
