Hi, I was wondering if anyone could id this maker mark on some cufflinks. Looks similar to a Georg Jensen mark but it's in a shield shape, not circle. Also id needed on date, it has british hallmarks for 9ct gold with 'W' date - uncertain if this is 1921 or 46. Thanks so much for taking the time to look at this.

Hi,

As for the date, that may be difficult, but big clear image may help.

Hi Ejenie,

With this particular date letter it is so difficult to 100% certain, but as the 1946 'W' has a serif at the peak of the top central point (as illustrated in Bradbury's), and your example does not appear to have one, then I think it is more likely to be 1921.

Hi Trev, Thanks for confirming that - it was confusing with the 1921 and 1946 marks so similar. Thanks for your opinion, I tend to agree.
