The Birmingham Assay Office are about to launch a full list of makers marks on their revamped website at The Birmingham Assay Office

The data will be at Early Silver Hallmarks

They currently give a list of assay marks and date letters - although these do not seem to have been expanded beyond what is available in the standard reference works.

The anticipation is numbing! I hope we don't soon see "Oops, Nevermind!" posted.

On first of March I phoned the Birmingham Assay Office and threatened to report them to SSF moderators.
Total panic - and a promise by the end of April.
Apparently it has been a much more complicated projrct than anticipated .
Sounds Normal
Fingers crossed

At long last the site is running ...

Worth the wait I think as the site tries to totally interpret the entire set of marks on a piece.
