I looked at that page, but only glanced through it. I've now gone back and reread Jackson's Hallmarks, p. 33. Lo and behold it uses the word "added" with the "sun" mark 1816-1843. On the right of the page is a chart of the "Silver & Gold (22ct)" hallmarks used from 1816-17 to 1835-36. The first set of marks, 1816-17, shows the leopard head, date letter, lion passant and duty mark. Next to the 1816-17 is a mark denoting more info on the page.
