Is this mark on the back a family crest and if so does anyone know who, or is it a makers mark apart from the MC?

Hi Wilson, for the maker's mark see, Mary Chawner:

For the family crest I will move you to the Family Crests section.

Thanks for your reply. It would be interesting now to see if someone can identify the family from the crest.

The British Herald, or Cabinet of Armorial Bearings etc by Thomas Robson (1830) gives only one family by name of DOHTIG. It is a very old Saxon name which means valiant or strong. I could not find anything about the family. The name is now seen as Doughty. The crest was blazoned as a dexter arm, vested per pale embattled, cuffed, and holding up a mullet of six points. Kind regards.
