Identification guide
Glasgow silver date marks
Glasgow silver date marks changed in July; between 1784 and the office’s reopening, local goldsmiths sent their work to Edinburgh for assay.
Reading the Glasgow group
Date letters changed in July. Between 1784 and 1819 Glasgow goldsmiths sent work to Edinburgh for assay, so a Glasgow maker can appear beside Edinburgh marks. Glasgow’s official assay-office date-letter sequence resumed in 1819; the office closed on 31 March 1964.
What to check next
Compare the letter’s case, exact typeface and shield, not just its alphabetic name. A date letter records the assay year. Use the sponsor’s working dates and the other punches to distinguish repeated letters in older cycles.
