The date stamp I have put at 1934? This is where I start getting confused. There are marks of Britannia Standard and a lion head erased, which I have researched and the dates I have come up with is between 1697 and 1714 when these two marks were used. Could anyone shed some light on this for me please. Many thanks.

    You have the date and maker correct, it's Britannia standard silver, .9584 fineness...

    Thank you for your answer Cheryl. So the date of between 1697 and 1714 are incorrect and the 1934 one is correct?
