<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 51346, member: 44"]I agree with Baker that London 1901 is the closest in punch shape. The MW has me thrown. On zooming and editing your pic, the MW looks like it is within a flag shape punch. The flag is fluttering with the staff on the left side of the flag. When I saw the flag, I immediately thought of WH for Walker & Hall; however, your mark definitely looks like MW rather than WH. Also the Walker & Hall mark is a pennant rather than a flag and it points to the right rather than a flag to the left like yours. I looked on several British marks sites for a London maker's mark like yours with no luck. Here's some edited versions of your mark's pic I came up with. The small pics to the right are the maker's mark rotated as there is always a possibility the punch is up-side-down. Nowwww, there is always the chance that the middle hallmark is not a leopard because it is so badly rubbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12948[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
