<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 9730173, member: 18716"]AJ is correct, despite lots of rules around hallmarking in the UK they were often flouted especially by smaller jewellers/importers. Things did get much tighter in the 60's and more recently have started to go the other way again.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this one is probably just post WW2, perhaps early 50's and carrying over some of the Art Deco styling. The gold CT plus Plat mark was used as late as the 60's afaik. The thing that makes me think this one is a little later is the head, the platinum is fused to the bridge. Earlier pieces usually have the shank gold fused to the platinum at the upper shoulders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
