Silver and Gold Marks of England, Scotland and Ireland,
By
This review is from: Silver and Gold Marks of England, Scotland and Ireland (Hardcover)
Silver and Gold Marks of England, Scotland and Ireland is a must for all serious collectors of silver. Especially good for early silver; makers and assay marks. My first copy purchased in 1968 got 'lost' when we moved house 3 years ago, I am unable to come to a satisfactory decision about silver marks until I have consulted Jacksons, so have now invested in the new edition. This edition has been brought up to date by Ian Pickford - an acknowledged silver expert.

The Ultimate Source,
By heretic666 (High Dudgeon, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silver and Gold Marks of England, Scotland and Ireland (Hardcover)
If, as I have you have taken a peek into the back room of many auction houses you will find what I have called "the Holy Trinity" . These are Goddens Encyclopaedia of marks etc, Brittons Old clocks and watches, and this tome. No lightwight and its own bulk makes it liable to fall to pieces, but the Holy Trinity all suffer from that fate, not from obesity but from usage. Usage as in contant referral till the thing is grimey and falling to pieces just as the best reference books should be. As essential as a X 10 magnification jewellers loupe, these two tools will pay for themselves many times over.
A must for the professional and any serious collector.

Big book a little disappointing,
By
This review is from: Silver and Gold Marks of England, Scotland and Ireland (Hardcover)
Superfast delivery and well packed.
This book is no lightweight and aimed (maybe it should be) at the serious antique collector. Those with a seriously healthy bank balance looking for Georgian or earlier stuff will find it a useful reference, but for amateur collectors starting with a few inexpensive pieces there is a lack of information about 20th Century silversmiths. Though a 2009 revised edition it is still quite out of date - hallmarks listed are only up to 1989. This feels like the Victorian version - certainly needs a lot more revision to bring it into the 21st Century. This big heavy dinosaur could be made smaller and lighter without the three inch margin on every page. Jan
