About the Hallmarks
Adam explains about the Hallmarks found on his Sterling Silver Miniatures on his website:

"
Each of my Sterling Silver pieces is hallmarked by the Assay Office in London.
The compulsory UK Hallmarks consists of :
-
Sponsor's Mark which in our case is AB in a circle
-
The Fineness Mark which is 925 for Sterling Silver
-
The Assay Office Mark which is a Lion's head for the London Office
-
The Traditional Fineness Symbols which is a Lion for Sterling Silver
-
A Date Letter
The Sponsor's Mark is added at the Foundry and then the piece is sent to the Assay Office where the Silver content is validated and the other marks are added." - Adam Binder
