    Hello
    Any help appreciated on these hallmarks.
    I am hoping that it’s sterling silver and not plated?! No idea on origin of item or hallmarks.

    Sorry picture quality not the best .
    I don’t think it’s 925....It’s 9 something maybe 927 or 976. Definitely a 9 ...

    The square has in ‘ PRV & co’ or ‘DRV & co ‘

    A compass shaped hallmark
    And another I can’t make out.

    Will try and get more photos of better clarity.

    thank you in advance

    Could you also post a photo of the entire object?
    I agree, it looks like the London import mark.
    A name with '& co' points to an English-speaking country. Or one that wants to be.;)

    Here we are a much better photo of my two little birds.
    Looks like it is London import mark as you said ‘ I need help’

    Clearly see 925 now. And the letter U

    Any help with Country origin & age of item appreciated.

    The beaks are gold colour if that’s any help too.

    The import date letter is for 1994, so I would imagine the year of manufacture to be of a similar time period as most items imported would have been new. As for country of origin, without further marks that might be difficult to ascertain.

    Just intrigued as it’s silver so should it not all be silver coloured

    Gold washed. Those look like the kind of thing that the modern Comyns company is making in Malaysia. Not that it matters, the UK import marlk is key.
