How do you identify Sheffield silver hallmarks?
To identify Sheffield hallmarks, use trusted online resources. Most British silver features markings that identify its location of production, its metal purity and its maker. You can find images of these marks on reputable reference websites and compare them to those on your piece. Photographing the marks with your smartphone or tablet and then performing a reverse image search may expedite the process. Another option is to use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Sheffield silver.
