Editorial Reviews

Review

'For the complete beginner (this book) can be wholeheartedly recommended. The author... has crammed into a booklet that can easily be slipped into the pocket a text notable for its practical advice and most helpful illustrations. The latter include details of hallmarks which will make their interpretation clear to the amateur'. Terence Mullaly, 'Daily Telegraph'.


Product Description

This book not only tabulates the hallmarks that enable the identification of silver items but also traces the history of English silver, describing some famous makers and provides hints on spotting fakes.' There is a helpful chapter on Sheffield plate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great information, January 13, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I haven't used any other hallmark books, but this one has seems to have it all. I like it because it is small in size, packed full of information, including great history and easy to understand. I went to England and bought several silver pieces and used this book (after the fact) to find out its history.
