    Thank you. I took a peak it’s pretty confusing to navigate. I couldn’t find a place where it listed hallmarks so I could try and match up at least the three mermaids stacked vertical on top of each other or what that primitive crown with an X under it meant.

    There are some examples of what I "think" I see. These are from Cotterell's book of marks.

    I think I see DON for LONDON. Also SUPER FINE METAL (METTLE, something like that.) Crown X. The lower portion of a mark with a scroll-ish ending in LL.

    The other looks like maybe three lions laying down in a shield. Didn't find that yet.

    Just examples of the sort of things I think I see but not yours. Perhaps you can compare to yours and see it they are similar.

    Sorry for the late reply: thank you!

    To me inside the shield it looks like three mermaids with their little tail fins.

    Here is more info from the same book on the crowned X mark though by itself it's not very helpful.
