    Hi everyone :)

    We got this mirror at a london flee market this weekend.
    Its sterling silver, I can't figure out the hallmarks could someone help me out please?

    There is a beveled mirror, a beautiful engraved signature.

    Hi Talissa, lovely mirror.
    The lion passant is for sterling silver, the anchor for Birmingham, the U is for 1919, made by HM, H. Matthews, mark registered in 1893.
