A locality mark indicates the town or municipality where a precious-metal article was marked. The mark may be based on the locality’s coat of arms, name, abbreviation or a single letter.
The oldest locality marks date from the 1600s. A mark’s prescribed symbol or general description may have remained unchanged even though its actual appearance varied between individual punches and impressions. First find a possible locality below, then compare the mark on your item with every known example from that locality.
