Additionally, it is impressed with a crown symbol. This is known as a pseudo-hallmark and it became illegal for manufacturers to use the crown mark after 1898 because it resembled the Sheffield Assay Office mark, reserved to hallmarking sterling silver. Therefore, we can date the salver to pre 1898.
