Hi Royston,
Can't see an assay or date stamp only a pair of initials within an oval cartouche, it is tucked in tightly against the hilt and I am having a problem making it out. Am taking to a local jeweller to see if he can give me a positive I.D. on the initials so will post result when I've been. Many thanks for your interest.
My Regards,
Norman.

Yes, the hallmark.
Try and take a close up picture ... at all costs

. It is essential. The other day i located a Forum deeply qualified in silver marks; maybe i can find it again.
But let's see if you have any luck with your local jeweller.
