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: http://www.silvercollection.it/engli...hallmarks.html |

Looked like London, there were a number of W&S makers. TW |

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). Sorry, 1912 not 1916. Another Dave -- Change nospam to techie |

Â*CW&S = Charles Westwood & Sons ? Looks like CW&SNS (last two underlined) to me, which would be C Widmer & Sons. That mark was used 1904-1912. The date letter is r in a squarish shield with three indents in the bottom, which matches 1912. r the year, 1872, 1912 or 1932, I cant see it very well.

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. Cheers Chris |

Thanks guys!
As usual, I wouldve had to have researched a VERY long time to work this out from first principles. Cheers Chris |
