<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 1061812, member: 29&quot;]I know it gets said much that we didn&#039;t use 925 before the 90s, or that it means newer, but that&#039;s really not true. I have a Charles Horner hatpin, for example, clearly marked 925 and have seen other pieces of a similar age with 925 on them. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Common Control mark, which has been an option since 1976 in the UK does have the option to use 925 as part of a set of hallmarks, but it&#039;s quite different. </p><p><br /></p><p>aj is spot on, those are Irish import marks. The HG&amp;S and the written script look older than 1966 to me. I&#039;d need to go find my big Jacksons to check the date, I suspect it&#039;s earlier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
