Found this piece of silver when out detecting the other day.
Just wondered if anybody could help date and identify what it actually is?

Hi,
Welcome to the Forum.
You are far more likely to get a response if you embed your images as very few people will click on such links.

Re: Any help on this?
I think that the mark in your first two pictures is a partial Birmingham hallmark for 1881 (date letter g). This implies that whatever you have there is only part of a complete item because that other part would have either a complete hallmark or the missing 2 marks (anchor and maker's mark. I wondered at first whether it might be a comb holder but that doesn't square with the partial mark. The engraved decoration suggests it might be some sort of vanity item for a lady's dressing table, but that's as far as I can go.

It looks like a badly damaged half of an engraved, hinged bangle bracelet. length and width are about right, that end could be for the box catch, and I have seen them marked with partial marks on one half and full marks on the other.
