Can anyone tell me more from the hallmark please? the centre mark looks like a bell to me, and maker something like M .. Co

Thanks in advance

Yes we should have, although at lunchtime I was about 16 miles away from the bar, looking for Romans, and we had gone home by the evening open hours. Next time for sure though  Wink

Well done Sharkey, it seems to be missing a couple of hallmarks for gold so I presume your first thoughts of it being silver are correct and it was gold plated Wink
