I received a beautiful peice of ornate silver from an aunt recently; English made, it has the lion, the leopard without a crown, and the small letter h. I am just wondering if anyone would recognize this mark....SJ
Thank you in advance for any replies.

Hi Liv,
made in London ( leopardshead ) and possible made in 1903,1923 or 1963.The cartouche around the hallmarks is important.If it is clear squared than it is 1963.If you have a wave at the top and the bottom of the cartouche it is made in 1903.Only a wave at the bottom it was made in 1923.
Best wishes

Marion
