<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 230672, member: 29"]There's no reason whatsoever that an individual would do that. It's entirely legal to sell items with foreign hallmarks here if you're an individual. A company can do it if they abide by the rules - see here: <a href="https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/292991/response/709568/attach/html/2/hallmark%20guidance%20notes%20final.pdf.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/292991/response/709568/attach/html/2/hallmark%20guidance%20notes%20final.pdf.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/292991/response/709568/attach/html/2/hallmark guidance notes final.pdf.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Indeed, many small modern silver bits are sold by retailers with just a 925 marking, Tiffany included.
