Hi, @Cscratchy.

Without all the marks put together, we can not find out what assay office, what year, what maker, etc.

The lion passant is the mark for sterling silver 925/1000 purity. Inside that type of shield was used for London (1300-present), Chester (1701-1962) and Sheffield (1773-present). Birmingham, Exeter, Glasgow, York, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Dublin used for sterling another symbols or lion in different shield.

For sure it is another mark to show the City Mark (London - leopard, Birmingham - anchor, Sheffield - crown, etc.).

The letter "m" should be analysed in accordance with all those marks to be find the exactly year. 

So, tell your friend, please, to make a picture of entire piece, having all together all the hallmarks and I am sure we can help.

Cheers!

Stefan.

Sorry @Cscratchy, those marks aren't readable (by me anyway!), if you could add a picture of the whole thing, it might be possible to establish what period it's from and then we might be able to narrow that date mark down to a specific year.
