Also noteworthy, it isn't the manufacturer that stamps hallmarks, but the Assay Office. Here's what Sheffield's Assay Office has to say on the subject.

This means that if it was not made of precious metal, it would not be assayed, and thus not stamped by the Assay Office.

And STILL no answer to WHY were Hallmarks brought up in a forum about STRAIGHT RAZORS? Thank You voidmonster, for coming to his aid. Being as he still hasn't answered my question, I know that truth and have my answer.😀

But to say the crown over PM isn't a Sheffield is to say it's pre 1733 , because the Crown was a definitive mark of Sheffield, Anchor was Birmingham, 3 Tower Castle was London. They were considered so in 1733. Somebody out there who can show me a picture of the page showing differently?? That's my challenge 😀

This, even for precious metal hallmarks, is wrong. See here for the actual marks.

I believe you can read your own quote above to answer that question, because I cannot tell you why you brought it up.

And it's NOT a noteworthy point in a discussion about 18TH CENTURY STRAIGHT RAZOR MARKS.

I'm glad we agree on that point.

See the red highlighted comments you made. That's what started it all... Time for a drink.

No. The marks were definitive of all cutlery. The developer of this site has already clarified that point in a post in 2011, that's what I posted.

Now that the logic has become completely circular, I suggest we start firing information into it to produce high-speed collisions. In the ensuing explosions, it might be possible to detect as-yet-undiscovered particles of... Well, something!

HAHAHAH 😄 I don't think it's the logic but the conversation which has become circular. Like, wher did I say hallmarks? Crown, Castle, Anchor are cutler marks indigenous to the place of registration. Hallmarks are familiar but there called city/ assay marks.
