Thanks for the input but the mark on the silver is not theirs.

BB&B sold and I have handled many dozens of their silver products with their name clearly stamped along with the makers mark of such firms as Dominic & Hoff and Gorham and several others.

Only the leather was stamped with BB&B in this case with another makers logo on the silver.

Enlarged or not, we'll either need a verbal description or a better image, can't make head or tail of it.

mark looks like Old English style G or H or maybe another letter in a circular format.
