Hi, i have tried to picture them but they are quite small...
they start with WL in a triangle, under is a C in a square with the corners missing, then what looks like a crab or some sort of insect and finally a R.D inside a triangle.
I'm assuming they are silver as they were quite tarnished when i got them but have cleaned up lovely and feel right... i could be wrong though! ha ha
any help would be appreciatded
