This book shows how to decipher the hallmarking system and to read the history behind the marks. Its introduction explaining the history and meaning of marks is followed by the marks of all the major... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is great for identifying English and British hallmarks. Has a little bit on other European hallmarks which is very useful. It's a small size, so you can easily put it in your purse when going antiqueing (sp?). I'd definently recommend this to anyone seriously interested in silver.

This little book delivers the goods ~ well-organized marks for the English silver sleuth. Also has a credible selection of silver styles thrown in as a little bonus.
A must have for collectors of Antique English Silver
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is a must have for anyone who collects antique English silver. Not as comprehensive as a lot of others I have seen which is actually a plus since it fits comfortably in your pocket when you go antiquing. I keep my copy next to my computer so I have it handy while surfing the silver listings on eBay. Well worth the price.
