There are so many SILVER HALLMARKS and they all have very interesting histories.
Sometimes a silver manufacturer will simply put their name on their products. These hallmarks are the easiest to make out. When you have pieces of silver that bears a company name, then you have no doubt about the origins of a piece of silver. Sometimes a silver manufacturer even gets descriptive with the hallmark, mentioning that a piece of silver sterling or that it is handmade.
There are initial marks, ones where the silver bears letters that represent the initials of someone, most likely the company or person who made the silver object.
There are also pictorial hallmarks. These hallmarks depict something--an object or an animal--instead of letters.
Then there are other Silver Hallmarks that cannot be so easily identified. These hallmarks show a pattern or something that does not seem to match up to something that can be easily identified.
It is also possible for a piece of silver to have a hallmark that will combine all of these things. Silver hallmarks can come with initials or a name and a picture of something like a horse or an abstract design.
Of course if you are planning to Sell Your Silver, all of these interesting markings will no longer be so important. But it is still good to know the value of what you have. You can look up the manufacturer of your silver to see where and when they were in business. Then you can go to a website like The Bullion Desk to read more about the Market Price of Silver.
