oooooooooo I've found something else that might be interesting

"Britannia"
This mark was introduced in 1697 for silver of the new higher standard [95.8%]. Between 1697 and 1720, this was the only permissible standard for silver in England. From the re-introduction of Sterling Standard in 1720 both standards have been available. Little was produced using Britannia Standard between the 1730s and the late 19th.century. The earliest use of Britannia Standard in Edinburgh is 1846.

I got it wrong when I suggested the mark might mean it's Britania Metal!

hehehe thank you Lou babes I love you too !!! *smoooooooch*
