The hallmark formation would imply TJ silversmiths in Edinborough around 1900.
But no silversmiths there at that time have used such poor quality stamps.. The marks are a fake.. Sorry but that's true.. spiral Last edited by spiral; 16th April 2015 at 11:38 PM. |

O yes... bit embarrassing though!
 But always best if one realises ones barking up the wrong tree to accept it though.... Otherwise one just digs oneself a bigger hole..  spiral |

Having lots of examples to look at and opinions to consider are two of the reasons this forum is so useful. |
