do you think this is 22k gold ???

The marks are;

• -LW&G
• - CROWN
• - 22
• - Like a panther head

kind regards mavis

Answer: G'day Mavis and many thanks for your query.

The short answer is YES!

These are full UK (British) Hallmarks showing the Maker's Mark, the Guarantee mark, the quality mark, the Assay Office (in this case it was made in London) and the date letter for the year it was made.

However we cannot tell the year because you left some of the most important pieces of information out - including the date letter.

They are: What SHAPE is the stamp (oval - square - corners cut off etc) and What STYLE is the font used. ie: Uppercase, lowercase, Old English, Italics etc.

The date letter changes every 20 years, so the letters and STYLE and SHAPE change too. That is the only way we can keep track of the exact year of manufacture.

There is a free Hallmarking course on my website which will explain thing better. You can get it there.
