What do the hallmarks reveeal about dates and makers?

And how much do those things weigh!? They look like about 5 old U.S. silver dollars size....

They are each approximately 6.5" x 3" and weigh about 1/2 pound each.

Here are closeups of the silver hallmarks.

Does someone out there have a list of date hallmarks? It would be nice to know exactly when these were made.

Garth - you don't say which hallmark goes with which pouch.

The one on the left is for London 1874

The one on the right for Birmingham 1886.

Both have the Queen Victoria head for Duty paid marks.

They are both nice examples and in good condition. Their value will increase because of the Regts.. Have you bought these for your

collection ? I have a lovely pair of silver epaulettes to the 12th. Mervyn

Thank you for the information. The hallmarks on the left are from the Rifle Regiment and the one on the right for the 12th.

Mervyn I traded into these and probably will not keep them.
