Hi all...dug a few bullets at an old site and an old silver fobwatch case along with another old badge thingie..what would you date the proof marks inside the case as..it should be around the 1860s..would like to know if possible..thanks guys
the proof marks if they dont show out to well in my pic are ..a lion..an anchor..another mark that I would find hard to describe..like a tower with two arms at one side !!!..then the numbers 1 6 5 0 6 4 with a MS stamp......also the little badge thing..shows a bird , like a grouse laying among leaves..its back has a pin like holder ..not a button back, this from the same spot old gold wash over it...thanks in advance..des

frigging awesome watch!!!!!! MR TUFF
 

Very cool watch man! :notworthy:
Congrats!
 

Hi Des.... Good to see you posting finds again :icon_thumright:
And those are great!
I have my Grandfathers watch..very very similar to your find. The hatching on
the case is the same. Me Grandads has a five figure number on all three of the case
covers (same number each time) where yours has a six figure number.
Cant help with the hallmarks.
