Can anyone help please? I have my eye on a silver king’s pattern ladle which indicates a London date of 1810 and yet the leopard's head is uncrowned. Is this possible as I thought the crown didn't disappear in 1822? Many thanks in advance geoff956 IP: Logged |

The ladle will be 1830 - an easy mistake to make. What is the maker's mark? IP: Logged |

Hi, Thanks for reply. The maker is I think A.B.S. There's also a king's head but wonder if it's George1V or William 1V. Sorry cannot provide picture. IP: Logged |

Maker is: A.B.Savory (Adey Ballamy Savory to his friends!) - he didn't register his maker's mark until 1826 - so q.e.d. - ABS made really good spoons etc. The firm bcomes ABS & Sons and the mark changes in 1833 when he is joined in business by his sons Joshua & Albert Savory. In 1830 you will still have the head of King George IV. IP: Logged |
