I am confused about these hallmarks. I don't think there is any doubt that it is Newcastle, but I am not sure about the date as the "k" doesn't seem to be a capital letter and the small "k" for 1873 is not supposed to be in a shield. Also, I can't find a CH maker for Newcastle. Of course, there is Charles Horner for Chester, but I don't think he ever had a Newcastle origin for his jewelry. Or is it a badly stamped Chester? Please help as this is a very pretty bracelet! Many thanks.
