Crest on Old Shefield Plate
Crest on Old Shefield Plate
We recently acquired some silver from my wife's departed mother and two pieces have engraved initials and a family crest picture which we know nothing about. The photos are below and we would appreciate any help we might get to identify it.

Re: Crest on Old Shefield Plate
According to The British Herald it is for SHIPMAN of Nottinghamshire. It is blazoned: a leopard sejant Argent, spotted Sable, reposing the dexter paw on a ship's rudder. That is to say a silver leopard sitting with black spots, resting his right paw on a ship's rudder. The monogram appears to be a match. Kind regards.
