My main reference work, Jackson, lists 11 GAs and there are certainly others not listed there, so we really need to see a picture. That said, there is one GA which is far more common than any of the others; if your mark has GA in 2 conjoined circles and dates between 1840 and about 1880, then it was made by Chawner & Co (GA stands for George Adams in this case).

More information and/or a picture is necessary. And what's the rush? If you are selling/buying in an auction, please familiarize yourself with the guidelines. IP: Logged
