Looks to me like a silverplate mark used by Harrison Brothers & Howson. Check here:

letter/marks are as follows, A1-J- R--**-
all are incased with insignia/cresent, i’m sorry as i’m old and don’t know how to up-load a photo of fork. Any comments would be very welcome. Thanks

For a new query you should really start a new thread rather than adding to an older one. However it sounds as if your fork is silver plate as A1 is frequently used on electroplate. The maker may be Joseph Rodgers & Sons of Sheffield, but I can’t be sure without a picture.

Adding a picture to a post is not too complicated - when you start a thread or reply to a post you will see a box just below where you are typing entitled “Add an Attachment”. Just use the “Browse” button to find the picture on your computer and then click the “Add Attachment” button. You should ensure beforehand the the picture is not too large - maximum width or height should ideally not exceed 500 pixels.
