Update: a couple members say it's Georgian period...late 1700s/early 1800s...I'm over the moon...

I did dig a possible white gold ring a few months ago, but this one i'm fairly sure is legit. Rang up as a 12-20 on the e-trac and was only about 3" deep. weight is 7.2g. i've been trying to decipher the hallmarks...there's an anchor which i think means Birmingham U.K., there's a bust which i think is a duty mark (if that's what it is then it was was made sometime between 1784 and 1890), and then there's "MP" stylized together...any info on that?

Wow, now that's a beauty! Has to be mid to late 1800s looking at the amount of wear, design, and style. Fantastic piece there, congrats!
