Hello Helen,

    I stand corrected on the exact detail of the hallmarking law. I know
    that the Assay Office does hallmark large numbers of items. From the
    Goldsmiths review 2006/7, the number of silver items hallmarked was
    1,493,008. Gold items hallmarked were 19,931,826 and Platinum was
    1,068,763. Making a grand total of 22,493,597! 

    These are figure from the Assay Office London which does not take
    account of work submitted to other UK Assay Offices. 

    I know that the EU tried to remove the date letter from UK
    hallmarks. Even though it is no longer a legal requirement, everybody
    still seems to use it by default. 

    Have you tried the new Brillante silver from Cooksons? Good luck with
    your export drive.
