[QUOTE="Hunter1, post: 374039, member: 9344"] I just re-read your post and thought I should add a bit more info that I found out about my ring too. I was too excited initially on reading your reply and seeing the pictures you'd added that all of your post didn't sink in. I had the ring tested at a jewellers shop and they confirmed that the ring was indeed 18ct solid gold. I initially thought my ring may have been British (because of the lion passant) and contacted The Goldsmiths Company in the UK to ask them if they were familiar with what I thought were the hallmarks. They did some research for me and came to the conclusion that it was not British as the hallmarks were not complete for a British hallmark and also the sequence of the hallmarks did not match British hallmarks. They told me that they were only makers marks and it could possibly have been made in the US or Canada as they also used marks similar to British hallmarks. I'm so pleased I can finally confirm it's early Australian. [/QUOTE]
