What an extensive compilation of hallmarks! As I am a bonafide noob on these things, this site is a treasure trove of great information and images. I’m enthralled and will continue to learn.
I’ve searched this forum exhaustively (in my mind). I think I’ve came close, but have to leave it at that. I didn’t want to ask, I’m sure it’s here somewhere. I’ve gone cross eyed looking so much, I’m gonna hand it to you all.
Lion passant, the city mark I’m going to say Chester, as it’s mushy. Looks close. I searched all locales. Alas! the date stamp H looks just like Chester! I don’t think this is that old though. But who knows?
Back story on this chain can be answered, as I didn’t want to add pic of the charm YET. It’s another topic in itself. I wanted to pin this down first. Can’t find much on the S-LC .
*Note the impression of “SIL” coming through opposite hallmarks - short for “silver”? Thank you all in advance!

Re: .925 chain Chester?
Hi and welcome to the forum.
This is actually a London hallmark with the date letter H for 1982. There are no published references for modern maker's/sponsor's marks and at the moment we are unable to identify S-LC.

Thank you for the prompt reply, Phil. That’s an awesome name, by the way. Phillip is my first name.silvermakersmarks wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2023 1:47 pm Hi and welcome to the forum.

So, if it’s any help, the charm that accompanied the chain is a Johnson Matthey 1g silver bar that’s set in a bezel. Now, precious metals, bullion and coin, paper money and exonumia is in my wheelhouse. I might be able to help some in that category. Haven’t had time to scour it all.
Again, the resources provided here are expansive and I’m very impressed. Much appreciated, as always!
