Hi,
I read that as TFWB.
Can you get a clearer photo of the makers mark or describe it?

Here is my best shot at the amaker's mark. My initial guess was that it was J I, until I turned it around. I now think that it is F B.

Hi,
I managed to find a picture on how your piece would have been worn - note the medal on the lower right hand side.

Nice find Trev.
I read the marks as London 1848, maker -F.F, I believe this would make Frederick Freethy, goldsmith, the likeliest candidate for maker.
