You appear to have a Birmingham hallmark from the 1975 to 1999 cycle of date letters, but I am having difficulty working out exactly which letter it is. O for 1988 is my best guess but I am a long way from being certain. MK in that form is the mark of M Kamin & Co Ltd.

I have included your picture in my reply as some people are reluctant to click on links.

Hi,
I think Phil is right (both the year and the maker).

Thank you!

I am not quite sure about the letter it looks like G. Do you know from what year is that?
