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.

peter monahan Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Does someone out there have a list of date hallmarks? It would be nice to know exactly when these were made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 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.

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.
