I think this is a lion in profile used with Britannia? Can anyone confirm or shed any additional light on this I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Hi VM,
Nope, as the British Hallmarks page shows, the Britannia mark is example "B".



British hallmarks come in sets, the rule of thumb is, if you do not have a complete set including:
Standard mark, city mark, date letter and maker's mark (+ a duty mark if 1785-1890), the item is either from another country or more often, as in this case, a piece of silverplate. If your lion in profile mark was on a piece of Britannia, it would be only in conjunction with the Britannia standard mark and the other required marks.
There are a few exceptions, such as on very small items or the odd piece of jewelry.
For comparison, here is an example of a proper set of British hallmarks,


you can see how different they are from the trademarks on your piece.
Regards, Tom

Thanks Tom. I was referencing the letter B under duty marks from that same page. I thought it was possibly the same and it made reference to Britannia. I apologize if I confused the two :)

VM,
No need to apologise, glad to have the opportunity to clarify. Lord knows the marks are confusing, which is why this forum exists.
