Napkin Rings Silverplater

Looking for help identifying the maker of these napkin rings. The mark resembles an S, a D and a G with a symbol in the middle of the letters. Thank you in advance for any ideas or information.

It would be interesting to see the town mark for Egypt which I presume is in Buckinghamshire.

Re: W & H 228 S Napkin Ring

I have a couple more questions about this napkin ring. First of all I'm looking for a name for the type of script used for the monogram, and secondly is there a proper name for the banding at the ends. I've seen banding like it called arches, but does anyone have a specific name for this design ...

Re: Unknown GA Mark

Thank you for all your effort Aguest. Here are a couple more images that may be useful. One of them is of the shoulders of this spoon just because the tips appear to turn away from the bowl.

Re: Unknown GA Mark

The last mark also looks like GA. It’s turned upside down from the other two. I don’t see anything that makes me think it’s cast. Although it is not a particularly thin spoon even with all the wear.

Unknown GA Mark

Not sure which forum this entry belongs in. And of course hoping for the maker’s name.

I will presume they are sterling until testing proves otherwise.
This seems like a bit of an overly optimistic assumption to me.
Thank you for the image of the markings that I should be seeing.

Re: Manufacturer and Pattern Unknown

Turns out this is the 1919 introduced R Wallace & Sons Pattern Rheims which was produced in sterling silver. As these knives are unmarked, I will presume they are sterling until testing proves otherwise.

Manufacturer and Pattern Unknown

Just hoping by chance someone will recognize something about these knives. They sort of look ecclesiastical to me, but that may not be much help. No marking visible at all.Image

The James Gilliland mark was my best guess as well. Thank you Trev for the confirmation.

Edinburgh Salt Cellars

This is an especially attractive and I think exceptionally heavy pair of salt cellars at 190g for both of them combined. I am looking for help identifying the silversmith's or sponsor's mark.

Re: Gorham The Baronial Pattern Serving Knife Purpose

Thank you both for your responses. Actually, the blade is completely flat. It is shadows that make it look otherwise.
