Dave13 New Member United Kingdom 29 Posts	Posted 11/04/2012 5:12 pm I've recently bought four silver postage stamps. I have identified three as being produced by Hallmark Miniatures Ltd. The fourth is from some sort of different set the edge is smooth and the reverse is plain except for the hallmark which is RM 925 (a castle with 3 turrets) f any help would be appreciated.

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/04/2012 6:55 pm For British silver hallmarks, a three-turreted castle usually indicates the city of Exeter. "RM" is the maker, but don't know which at the moment. The "f" is a code for the year, but the alphabet repeats over the decades; the cartouche the letter is in, and whether upper or lowercase, would help to pin it down. Could you provide a picture?

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/04/2012 10:04 pm Sorry, should have been thinking of more modern hallmarking. Still can't make out the city mark, but should be Edinburgh. I would bet the "f" is year 2005. Report this Post to the Staff
