Canadian silver hallmarks

In Canadian silver hallmarks, company names such as Birks can identify the business, while EPNS and plate wording identify a plated construction.

Distinctive marks and standards

925 denotes 92.5% silver. Company names such as Birks can identify the business, while EPNS and plate wording identify a plated construction. An engraved dedication is separate from the stamped material mark.

What to check next

Read CANADA or a town as origin wording rather than a fineness. Compare the maker’s logo and punctuation with its other examples; a maple leaf incorporated into a trademark does not itself supply a 925 silver percentage.
