Updated and produced to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Sheffield Assay Office, this unique little pocket-sized reference book is of great value, providing you with the marks of origin on English, Scottish and Irish Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Palladium and on foreign imported silver and gold plate.
