Hall Marks

Hi All,


I have a prayer book which has a silver cross on the front which I believe belonged to my grandma (whose name was Hall 11::^*>>))



I?ve uploaded the hallmark here

Can anyone tell me what they signify?

Cheers



TIA



Best regards

W&S is the makers mark a quick google doesnt reveal it, though further searching may get it. r the year, 1872, 1912 or 1932, I cant see it very well. Lion = Sterling silver Leopard head - = london Assay office , they tested/stamped it.

Look it up, there are loads of pages where you can look yourself:

CW&S = Charles Westwood & Sons ?

The photo is very indistinct but the first cartouche is the maker (too blurry), the second is the date letter (1916), the third signifies 925 sterling silver and the last is the assay office (too blurry).

Others may be more expert.

Curious and drinking tea at my desk I found you can look up the marks here:

it's hard to tell from your image. Looked like London, there were a number of W&S makers.

Sorry, 1912 not 1916.

Thank you all very much.

I should have said, I did try to DIY it (look myself), but gave up when there were multiple dates for r.

1912 would certainly fit with it having been grandmas.

Thanks guys!

As usual, I would?ve had to have researched a VERY long time to work this out from first principles.

Cheers

Chris
