Detailed description:
The marking of British silver is one of the oldest pieces of consumer protection legislation in the world.
Assay marking began in London in 1327. If the marks stamped on any piece of British silver are legible, it is theoretically possible to tell that it is silver of a known fineness, where and when it was presented for assay, and who was responsible for its manufacture. The laws have been rigorously enforced especially since the beginning of the 18th century.
So, British silver and gold has been hallmarked for over six centuries!
Pure gold, silver and platinum are too soft to be useful. The hallmarks show that an article has been tested at an official Assay Office and states how pure the metal is. This is, obviously, useful to the buyer as it is impossible to tell without chemical analysis.
