In cases in which it is made clear that the poster is incapable for some reason of providing an illustration, we will do our best to help, but it must be clearly understood that any identifications made are tentative and may be inaccurate.

FredZ Posts: 1070 Registered: Jun 99	posted 10-09-2006 10:23 AM Can you tell us why you are seeking this information? Though it may take time to post the images it takes more time for the members to search out the information for you. We are willing to help those who show a willingness to learn for the sake of learning ourselves. Images are helpful to us all. Fred IP: Logged

2209patrick Posts: 37 Registered: Mar 2006	posted 01-01-2007 12:02 PM The P.A & S and shield mark is one of many silverplate marks used by Philip Ashberry & Sons, Sheffield, England. Regards, Pat. IP: Logged
