An English date letter question

[diggerfororo]

I found this 9k ring yesterday and can't come up with a date. I know it is from London but I cant find any letters in a circle . OK Cru get on it.

Found this but thought your ring would be older. But here it is anyway.

"S&W is the maker's mark for Slade and Woolf, who made wedding rings in the 1980s and probably the decades either side. I imagine the "1580" is their pattern number!"

Looks like 1968.

Thanks IP I guess you have it. I was looking at the round stamp mark, and it must be worn to look round.

Not according to this....The leoperd hallmark, which I believe is on the ring plus the letter type, in this case a heavy capital M, which is 1967

I don't know about that SS... Personally I use the link IP provided when dating.
But really, 67 or 68 is there a huge difference?

I tryed IP's link, but it was blank , the poster asked for the date, I looked at the date acording to the facts posted, the letter M, it's not gothic but a heavy capital M, and the Leopards head which is the hallmark for London, and that's what come up in the search I did.
Makes no odds to me what date it is, but it might to the finder.

Ahhhh.... The site is in PDF format - you'll (or anyone wanting to check it out) need something like Acrobat reader, or something similar. Worth checking out though. The document is written by the Assay offices in London, Birmingham, Sheffield and Edinburgh.

[/quote]I have acrobat reader, but for some reason it only works when it feels like it, the 2 links I posted are both creditable, if you want it to be a 1968 then fair enough, like I said it makes no odds to me.

Looking at this link, it seems the letter on the ring is a small case m, which means according to this link that it is 1967/68
