Hi all, how ya doing

recently picked up a couple of spoons with the pictured hallmark.
At first I thought this was William Henry Sparrow 1904 London
but then I noticed that the W.H.S font on mine is very plain when
compared to other pictures of Sparrows hallmark.

Could it be an imposter ???
Can a silversmith have more than 1 hallmark ???

many thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Welcome to the Forum David.
London 1904 is correct but the mark was entered in 1899 by Walter Henry Searle as Searle & Co

Mike

many thanks - just what I needed to know.

Searle & Co I've actually heard of.

Many thanks for your help.
