Help IDing maker's mark G.E.S on photo frame pendant

Post by maidel »

Thanks in advance for any assistance! I'm fairly sure the hallmarks show this is sterling from London. The city mark is a leopard from around 1900, I believe–it's pretty rubbed out. I'm unable to find any maker with the initials G.E.S. I suppose the initials could be G.L.S. I've researched both but can find nothing.

Again, thanks for your help,

This is the mark of George Elisha Sumner who registered this mark with the London Assay Office on 5th February 1895. The hallmark is London with the date letter g for the assay year 1902/03.
