Scottish silver hallmarks
I recently acquired a smali kilt pin made in Scotland that has a "D" and a "B" stamped on the back. I'm not sure the pin is silver but the marks have me interested. Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Generally speaking there will be at least 3 marks
The maker/sponser mark
the year letter
the assay office
if you can post a picture of it, I;m sure one of us can help you identify it!

Here is a website I use (thanks to my sister):

I have one saved as a bookmark on back up disk I will try to dig up too.
Good luck on your hunt,
