Please note:The hallmarks on the set consist of:i- The same four marks on the underside of the four pieces; namely, the maker\'s mark, the Lion Passant for sterling silver, the year mark for 1845, the bust of Queen Victoria for duty, and the leopard head for the city of London;2- At the end of the handles of the coffee pot and the teapot-- the bust of Queen Victoria and the Lion Passant;3- On the inside of the covers of the teapot and the coffee pot-- The maker\'s mark, the Lion Passant, and the year mark for 1845; and,4- On the finials of the teapot and coffee pot-- the maker\'s mark, the bust of Queen Victoria, and the Lion Passant.Our photographer failed to capture the year mark at the proper angle. Perhaps, the following picture would be of avail. The first one is of the marks under the cover of one of the post, and the second of the year mark of the teapot.
