Hello
I am trying to identify the hallmarks on a family ring (we think from the UK) originally.
There seems to be 5 marks :
1. unclear
2. a rabbit or lion moving right
3. a crown
4. the number 22
5. unsure
We cannot find a letter for the date. Thank you in advance for any help or advice you have!

Identifying hallmarks gold ring
Re: Identifying hallmarks gold ring
Hi, welcome to the forum. London gold marks, what you call a rabbit is the (old English style) year letter l for 1926-27. The crown standard mark for gold 22 carat, followed by the leopard head for London. The unclear mark ( not shown in image below) is probably a maker's mark.
