Maker’s Mark (C.J.V / LTD): The first stamp shows the initials of the manufacturer, C.J. Vander Ltd, stacked inside a clean rectangular punch. Since the firm officially incorporated and appended “Ltd” to its name in 1930, this specific mark style could only be used after that year.
The Standard Mark: The second stamp features the Lion Passant (a walking lion facing left). This is the historical British symbol confirming the item is solid 925 sterling silver.
The City Mark: The third stamp is the Leopard’s Head, representing the Loindon assay office.
The Date Letter (u): The fourth stamp displays a lowercase, italicized u inside a shield with a rounded base. In the London alphabet cycle, this precise typeface and border design marks the piece as assayed in 1935.
