<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 12587530, member: 2844&quot;]Translation:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;You are stuck in the second half of the 20th century. In the meantime, you need to consider the first half of the 20th century. And not Germany, but Great Britain. Birmingham Chamber. Year of manufacture of the ring. If it is &quot;b&quot; - then 1901, and if it is &quot;g&quot; - then 1906. Brand Haseler &amp; Preece. Or perhaps a famous manufactory that worked at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries Hands &amp; Pearce.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I think something was lost in translation, I am not stuck on the second half of the 20th century, I am trying to help you and have no vested interest in it being second half of the 20th century German or something else.</p><p>I said &quot;until the end of the 20th century&quot;, meaning it was mostly used before then. In fact, millessimal marking was introduced in 1888, this marking included the 835 mark. By the end of the 20th century, most German makers were changing to sterling silver, with a 925 mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your ring was not marked in Birmingham or anywhere else in Britain, unless it has marks you haven&#039;t shown us yet.</p><p>British marks are punched on the inside of the ring and Britain uses a full set of hallmarks, so a row of marks in cartouches. Those look like this, albeit with different marks for town, fineness, year and maker, depending on the piece and origin:</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="https://www.silvercollection.it/DECRYPTINGSTERLING141.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">If your ring has a full set of marks, I would love to see a photo of the full set.</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
