Not sure but the top photo looks like it is plated and if so it could be faux hallmarks and would explain why you cant find similar hallmarks.  I am sure someone with more knowledge than I will able to confirm or provide more info Wink

Brilliant !!! Thanks for that, from there I found this " The firm entered their mark 'BHA' contained within an oblong punch, with the London Assay Office, on the 14th March 1888, and on the 27th September 1900." March 14th is my birthday lol...and 1888 Jack the Ripper was being very naughty in the East End of London. There was a picture of the same hallmarks too so thanks again  Wink
