<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 235393, member: 29&quot;]We were starting to get postcode precursors by WW2 for one thing.

None of my female relatives had them, although some might just about have afforded it -the vast majority of Brits could not have. That would have been an expensive piece of jewellery, and also one that companies were dissuaded from making. Silversmiths in the Birmigham heartland of the industry were on war work - until the city got bombed so badly, anyhow. </p><p><br /></p><p>Given the presumed weight of that thing, if it were as late as WW2 AND if it had been made here, it ought to have full hallmarks, too. So, it either isn&#039;t British - someone bought it abroad and had it engraved - and/or it&#039;s earlier. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still working on that abbreviation. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
