Wondering if anyone can assist …
I have an item which has the same Hallmark as Deakin & Francis Ltd and matched the hallmarks on silvermakersmarks.co.uk.
However I came across this site deakinandfrancis.co.uk/about.html can anyone tell me if Deakin & Francis are the same as Deakin & Francis Ltd?
Any help is much appreciated 
Kind Regards
Gemma
Yes, it is the same company.
Thanks for your reply, Can you then tell me if the correct name for the company is therefore Deakin & Francis Ltd or just Deakin & Francis?
Not sure if it was changed to just Deakin & Francis at a later date.
Thanks
They are listed as Deakin & Francis Ltd in telephone directories from 1906 to the present day. In 1905 they were just Deakin & Francis.
Ah great thanks so much for that.
