Full disclosure, this isn’t mine but I’m interested in buying it. Seems to be 18th c English, but I’m wondering if the Pierce work was done later? It doesn’t look right to me for 18th c Pierce work, and what’s left of the hallmarks looks to be between various shamrock piercings which also feels weird. Any thoughts? Thanks again
Gently clean the area in the photo below. Send us the result. And above all, post a photo of the entire item (sharp, high-resolution photos are welcome – today’s technology allows for this).

Thanks, but as I mentioned it’s not mine and I don’t have it in hand, just the photo. Was wondering generally if this looked right for 18th c pierce work.

Of course, I may be wrong… But only those who do nothing make no mistakes.
