[26-1767] My husband bought me this Victorian locket for Christmas. We are both new identifying antique pieces. We've searched quite a few sites and seem to have figured out that it is British from Birmingham and is Silver. The maker's mark and year we've had a hard time with. There is an M I believe signifying the year, but we haven't been able to match this exact M to any on the pages we've looked up. We have also had a hard time finding the JD maker. There is no tax stamp on it either, which we were reading is common on this type of Jewelry. We'd be grateful for any help you can provide in identifying this piece. Since I don't have my own website to post the pictures too. I'm attaching the link to the site that we bought it from. The owner of the site believes this to be an 1886 piece, but the M doesn't seem to match up exactly. Thank you in advance. IP: Logged |

While you are sorting out how to post photos it might also be worth checking out the Birmingham gothic "w" for 1896 which can easily be misread as an "m". It is only after 1890 that marks are not accompanied by the monarch's head duty mark. IP: Logged |
