I've checked 3 hallmark sights, with no luck! This is for the silver work on a Geo. Wostenholm & Son stag handle carving set.

TYIA!!!

Thank you Carling! That looks like a perfect ID...esp. since they say the mark was used for knife handles, which is what my items are. I hadn't thought about checking the Sheffield Assay office...thanks again for the great tip!!!
