Unregistered makers/sponsor marks

Hi, is there someone who would like to give me, or direct me to, a quick education on unregistered (18th century) marks. Why did makers not register? Having not registered how did they get their pieces assayed? Were unregistered makers marks illegal?

Thank you

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

I'm sure this forum will be of interest:
