Gold hallmark


Recommended Posts

Any ideas on the hallmark at the bottom of this piece?
The 2000 is presumably the year 2000 but the Z year mark is 1999. This bears the Sheffield assay office rose and the crown for gold with a 375 purity. The IBB is International Bullion and Metal Brokers. So all of these are covered other than the almost triangular shape at the bottom of the piece.

Always cast your vote - Spoil your ballot slip. Put 'Spoilt Ballot - I do not consent.' These votes are counted. If you do not do this you are consenting to the tyranny. None of them are fit for purpose. 
A tyranny relies on propaganda and force. Once the propaganda fails all that's left is force.

Interesting one @sixgun!

To be honest, I don't know but let me share what I found.

The 2000 hallmark is a celebratory one, aptly named 'the Millennium hallmark' and could be used in 1999 and 2000, as shown in this pic:

Note date 'a'. (2000)

The outfit IBB is based in Hatton Garden so I don't know why it was assayed in Sheffield rather than London?

They also knocked these out in sterling silver:

Now, as to the bottom hallmark, I can only offer my ideas.

It looks like a 'handshake', I detect Masonic vibes 😇

The 3 triangles may represent Air, Fire and Water (common in symbology).

Perhaps a batch of custom pieces were created for a group, society, members club etc.?

Nice piece 👌 

Technically, alcohol is a solution..

'It [socialism] poses a growing threat, however unintentional, to the freedom of this country, for there is no freedom where the State totally controls the economy. Personal freedom and economic freedom are indivisible. You can’t have one without the other. You can’t lose one without losing the other.'

"There is no such thing as public money, there is only taxpayers' money"

Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live.

Indeed the Masonic angle came to my mind when looking at the triangular mark.
I thought i would wear this to show i was a member of the Illuminati.
