Anchor Silver Mark:
The Anchor Mark is a hallmark introduced in the 18th century in Birmingham, England. This mark features an anchor, a symbol of the Birmingham Assay Office, and was used to signify that the office had assayed and approved the silver. It is usually accompanied by the letters "sterling."

Lion Silver Mark:
The lion passant on an item of silver guarantees that the silver is at least 92.5% pure, which is the sterling standard. From 1697 to 1720 the standard was increased to 95.83% pure, also known as Britannia silver.

The "S" Mark:
The "S" portion of the hallmark indicated the year, and according to the list of Birmingham dates, this S appears to be from 1992. See less
