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'.

This review is from: Discovering Hallmarks on English Silver (Shire Discovering) (Paperback)
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.
