Pocket Ed. Jacksons Hallmarks - Pocket Edition: English, Scottish, Irish Silver and Gold Marks from 1300 to the Present Day

Good informative book on Hall Marks

Have used regularly and saved money by checking other people’s mis information.

I found this book very informative and easy to understand as a beginner in the finding and dating of Gold & Silver Hallmarks and would recommend it for anyone that wants to learn about Hallmarks in a not to complicated way. I was also very pleased with the service I received from seller.

The book is an essential reading for anyone who is interested in antique jewelleries and antiquated art. It is concise, accurate, hallmark focused in provision of all important information required for accurate identification of British and Irish manufactured jewelleries and precious metal art. Its handy size of a pocked edition enables safe keeping and provides any beginner with a professional reference immediately through well organised reference tables. The book is extremely well structured with sufficient explanations on all historic hallmark types and markings. Value and popularity of this superb reference compilation has been proven by multiple reprints of the book since 1991. A wonderful publication that for a little price could make you a fortune ...

Great little book which appears better than the internet. Nicely laid out and will hopefully resolve the issue of the internet being unclear and confusing. has some useful basics in the front and then goes on to list the various Assay Offices of London, Birmingham, Chester, Dublin, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Newcastle, Norwich, Sheffield and York plus the English, Irish and Scottish Provincial Marks. The edition I received was first publishe 1991 and reprinted in 2014.

I sometimes buy small pieces of silver from the big internet site that everyone buys/sells on and to make my life easier I bought this book to help me understand all the marks that are typically stamped on pieces. This is a perfect size, concise and thorough reference book covering information on the hallmarks, assay offices and relevant makers, including some of the more obscure marks, that you'll need when buying silver, gold etc. Since buying this book a few weeks ago it has more than paid for itself in the information that I've gleaned from it..saved me making a few mistakes too! Although a bit pricey, in my book, it's well worth it!

I have been in this trade for 30 years, this book is OK, tells you what you need to know, have used this book for many years, i can recommend this to the beginner and the long standing dealer. it came very soon after i placed the order, if lost i would order another, i placed the order, it came soon after, 10/10 i give for your service and delivery.

If you are into silver, gold, etc and do not want a massive reference book, this is the one to go for, its concise, well written, covers all the relevant info and is a good sized (eg: small) book to make it handy for travel, carrying around,leave it in the car, etc. Recommended.

Excellent resource. I actually read the little resource book through and through.

マークを探しやすくて良いです。

I have both the Judith Banister paperback called "English Silver Hallmarks" and Jackson's Pocket Edition, and I find the Jackson's easier to use and I think the drawings of the date letter marks are clearer in Jackson's. I bought the Banister book because all of the makers' marks are included in one combined list, instead of separate lists for each assay office. I do prefer the combined list in the Banister book, but Banister attempts to alphabetize the list by the maker's LAST name, which surprisingly makes it harder to use, since one mark can include several last name initials, and I don't know which one to look for. Jackson's, on the other hand, lists the marks by the FIRST initial of the mark, so there is no doubt where in the alphabet to look; but the maker you are seeking might not be shown at a particular assay office, and might be listed only in London.

ネットのアンティークショップのジュエリーを、これを片手に見ているととても楽しいです。 けっこう間違った年代を表示している場合が意外と多いので、もしアンティークジュエリーの購入を 検討しているのであれば、ぜひこの類の本を購入して確認してからをおすすめしたいです。

新品同様とまではいきませんが酷い破れ等はなく許容範囲。むしろ本棚に飾ってかわいいくらいの使用感です。 到着は国内よりは時間がかかりましたが、それでも１週間くらいだったか、割とすんなり届いた印象です。
