Re: Fork with hallmarks, unknown metal, heavy.

Hello GeorgiaCanuck, No I totally agree with SirWatkynBassett. Anyway I would not dare to contradict Sir Watkin Bassett, who I know to be a famous rival silver collector. No more jokes and just to answer your last question; we are not looking at Canadian silver hallmarks but most likely we are look...

Re: Fork with hallmarks, unknown metal, heavy.

Hello, It may have been plated originally, or may have been just base metal, but not silver. This piece is a government issue one, as can be seen by the 'crow's foot' (broard arrow) mark, in this case by the Air Ministry. That particular crown is a King's crown and thus would date the piece prior t...

Fork with hallmarks, unknown metal, heavy.

Heavy fork I found metal detecting a few months ago. It has hallmarks, but when polished the color when from dark tarnish to a copperish gold in some places. Looks to be silver plated, but not sure. The fork is heavy and has weight. Here is a photo of the hallmarks. http://i227.photobucket.com/album...

Need info on maker of this pendant and maybe what year?

I'm a avid metal detectorist. Last Sunday I was detecting a park which used to be a Methodist Church Camp. The camp was founded in 1910 in the lower mainland of British Columbia. It has been in use ever since, first by the Methodists, then the United Church, the Boy Scouts and now is a City Park. My...
