I will send some nice big pictures to you soon, before I reply on the hallmark can I ask why you think it is wrong as the date letter is a Q although I notice you have the date range 73/74 on your site

It is the CJ you got wrong, you had not mentioned the letter before. Capital Q is Edinburgh 71 and lower case London 71. It was fairly arbitrary where it got hallmarked.

Thanks Frank

I use to being wrong about most things so no change there  ;D, it is a capitol Q, as soon as I can take some decent pictures I will email them to you
