<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 8109850, member: 10944"]Couple questions on this ring. Is it an anniversary ring, engagement ring, wedding, or just a plain old ring? I don’t really know how to differentiate between the first three types I listed. Second anyone know the pictorial mark? Not sure if it’s an official hallmark or makers mark. I’m assuming hallmark. It almost looks like the French eagle for 18k despite being marked 10KP. I assume P is plumb. I guess plumb means it could be higher than 10k but not lower right? Plumb was used more in the past than it is now correct? The more I look at the mark the more it looks like an elephant than an eagle, lol. Hoping for help with type of ring, hallmark, also when/where. Maybe hallmark tells us where or maybe it was made elsewhere and hallmarked later? Lots of question. Went to purchase a 14k ring on fbmp sometime last year, got there and it was this. Initially I was disappointed but maybe this isn’t so bad. Tiny lil diamonds on it. Haven’t tested those. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I assume is the makers mark looks like MN or MH maybe. Also there is a four digit number. Not sure if this is a registration number, owners ID #, or otherwise?
