Jewelery Hallmark I.D.'s

[Ric-san]

Anyone know of a good site/tutorial of how to figure out exactly what the jewelery hallmark is on jewelery that we might find...? I for starters have to find a better magnifying glass, old age seems to have creeped in on the 'ol eyes. The one I picked up at Harbor Freight just ain't cutting it...Any and all info will help out...thanks

I wrote down the halmark and went to the bookstore and looked. I imagine you could Google a webpage for silver/gold halmarks.
Since I am new to MDing, someone probably has a better answer.

Best Regards,
Riff

Ric, Man I hate to say it, but if you can't see the hallmark, you don't need a site for them.

Hey Ric do yourself a favor. Get a good jewelery loop. I have one (1/2 blind also). I dunno how I would do without it, Beale.

Heres a good one for ya ! Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks, Hallmarks & Makers' Marks If you have trouble seeing the mark try taking a photo then blow it up on the pc.
