[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 11947, member: 44"]Good question, Bake. My 1st impression was a straight bottom edge also; however, with the "pointy dip" on the anchor I would think the letter code would have a pointy dip also. Believe most of the charts I've seen have the same shape punches for all the stamps - city, purity and date code stamps. Note the 1924 stamps on the following charts - the city anchor, purity and Z date code letter all have that "pointy dip" on the bottom edge: [url]http://www.theassayoffice.co.uk/date_letters.html[/url] [url]http://www.silvercollection.it/englishsilverhallmarksBIR.html[/url] 1899-1900 - Z [url]http://freespace.virgin.net/a.data/dateletters/bham/bham1.htm[/url] 1924 - Z [url]http://freespace.virgin.net/a.data/dateletters/bham/bham2.htm[/url] Also if it was the date code mark for 1899-1900 wouldn't it have Queen Vic head? --- Susan[/QUOTE]
