I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. What is it, it looks nice. Val Title: Re: hallmarks ,??? Post by: Chef Geoff on April 18, 2015, 09:33:00 PM Well done Val spot on, the only thing I would add is that it doesn't have Victoria's bust on it so is after 1890 and with that M it narrows it down to 1904 ;)

Title: Re: hallmarks ,??? Post by: Val Beechey on April 19, 2015, 07:22:17 PM Can't see it being anything other than silver with those Hall Marks. I might be wrong but I'm fairly sure stainless doesn't have them and plate is marked differently.
Have you tried the foil test ? Val Title: Re: hallmarks ,??? Post by: dingdong on April 19, 2015, 08:08:37 PM Now that's a good looking spoon!!
