Answer 1

A hallmark is an official marking made by a trusted party, usually an assay office, on items made of precious metals (platinum, gold and silver) that guarantees a certain purity of the metal. This should not be confused with a marking, often just a number such as 925, which is done voluntarily by the manufacturer, and unfortunately does not always reflect the true purity of the metal. A hallmark is only applied after the item has been assayed to determine its purity. Often the hallmark is made up of several elements including: the type of metal, the maker and the year of the marking.

Answer 2

After a search I found this book which chronicles The Goldsmith's (UK) hallmarkings.
If you research "assaying" you may find the answer you seek.


Hallmark: A History of The Assay Office London
by John S. Forbes, London, The Goldsmiths' Company and Unicorn Press, 1999, 367pp, illus.
price: £38

With a foreword by Philippa Glanville, this book is a definitive history of The Assay Office London by the former Deputy Warden. It charts the development of hallmarking, the oldest form of consumer protection, which started in 1300 right up to the introduction of new EC regulations in January 1999. It presents a fascinating economic and social history of the goldsmiths' trade throughout these years and details all the technical aspects of testing and marking.
