Antique Silver - Basic Hallmark Identification
When purchasing antique silver, you want to make the most out of your cash. Be sure to pick something that is genuine. Then again, it can be difficult to tell just by merely using your senses. Experts recommend antique buyers to look for the hallmarks printed on the antique to make certain that the valuable metal that you are buying is not under-karat.
Why do antiques have hallmarks? Why is it so important? Hallmarking is the oldest form of consumer's protection when it comes to this kind of trading. It is a required marking on each precious metal such as gold, silver, platinum and other metals. In short, the hallmark is in basic terms a method to identify the precious metal's quality.
To identify the hallmarks, here are some important tips.
Markings - These can be either be words, letters or symbols. Frequently you can see 3 to 4 symbols, which imply the trader's mark, purity mark, mark for its origin and how old it is.
Most people are having difficulty identifying the distinction between the hallmark and the traders mark. Trader's mark simply indicates who manufactured the precious metal and it is just one of the marks in the hallmark. They usually consist of a set of initials.
Purity marks indicate the fineness of the precious metal. They are usually in symbols like lion, boar head, crab, eagles' head etc. Numbers also indicate the silver purity such as 925, 850,900, 950, 999 etc. Others used letters such as "PT" and "S".
Assay marks on the other hand, is the location where the silver is made. They are usually in a form of symbols like leopard head, which indicates London. Then a letter, which stands for the year manufactured, follows them.
Date letters range from A to U. J is not included. The date letters usually come after the assay mark and they are specific to the assay office.
Markings differ in every land - every country has its own method of hallmarking. Some of them are childlike and some of them are very complex or they are very difficult to read.
English hallmarks are very planned when it comes to their marking system. They use different kinds of symbols for the purity marks, trader's marks and assay marks. A letter as its date mark always follows assay marks.
English hallmarks are user friendly because they are very easy to read. They bring into play manufacturer's initials as the trader's mark and they use the word sterling and "PT" for silver plated in their purity marks.
French hallmarks are considered to be the most confounding to read. They use a lot of animals, insects and human faces as their symbols. Moreover, they never use numbers in their hallmarks.
Use hallmark references - it is difficult to memorize the marking system because it differ per country. It is much better to have a hallmark encyclopaedia as your reference or search in the internet for further hallmark symbols. Use it each time you buy antique silver in order to ensure that you are buying a quality one and not substandard antique silver.
Be watchful for indecent dealers when buying antique silvers, they are rampant nowadays. Through hallmarking, you can confidently buy quality antique silver. If you are still oblivious, ask your local antique dealer or research online for the different hallmarking.

You Betcha!: The Witless Wisdom of Sarah Palin $3.95 Alaskan governor Sarah Palin launched onto the national political scene in 2008 when she was unexpectedly chosen as John McCain's running mate. Soon after, her oratory foibles, shaky stance on political policy, and ignorance of national/world affairs became priceless fodder for journalists and comedians. Palin's off-the-collar, witless remarks will be collected in this book and illustrated with black and white photographs of the former vice presidential candidate and "rogue" politician. Excerpts from the infamous Katie Couric interview, her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, and sketchy explanations for her resignation as governor are all included in this anthology that is sure to keep readers laughing so hard they'll want to cry. This book of photos, quotes, and anecdotal material is the first political humor title on Palin. |
