British Symbols
by: Anonymous

Hi Marjolein


The little cross-like symbol between the 750 and the Y marks, is one of several British symbols for Imported Silver, used after 1933.

Obviously, the 750 is for .750 Assay mark (Purity mark), again used on Imports to the UK ca 20thC.

It could be that RAM are either the initials of an undocumented studio jeweler or, most likely, those of the importers or fine retailers in London that sold this item.

In essence, the marks indicate a ca 1933 onwards manufacture and that it was imported for sale in the UK, I'm sorry that there is no other specific information beyond that...


best wishes,

Yvonne

Also any information in relation to the following:
