swarter Moderator Posts: 2920 Registered: May 2003	posted 05-25-2004 05:34 PM Clive Taylor has forwarded the following: Mark found on a pair of shoe buckles of almost certain British Isles origin, one makers mark per buckle. Style, by London dating 1770 -1780, but I think these are provincial so probably later (c1780 - 1800). No assay or other marks. As usual very hard to photograph hence the drawing. Both marks show a fault in the punch of a bar intrusion from the bottom of the left side into the upright of the "R". My guess is provincial Scottish, c1780 -1790 . Perhaps Alexander Robertson of Dumfries. IP: Logged
