<p>[QUOTE="silvermakersmarks, post: 9868852, member: 66620"]The date letter in the hallmark is lower case k for 1884 rather than upper case K for 1833. An 1833 mark would have also had a duty mark. Although 1884 is before the end of duty marks Birmingham omitted it from c1879 on silver which was too light to be dutiable.
