Help with id on hallmarks

Post by zkimmey »

Sorry in advance if I put this in the wrong category, but I have no idea where to put it!

This was in a box of miscellaneous items I won at auction a few years ago, and I have always wandered about it. It is a large pendant(4&1/2 in), with what I think has tiger or some other animal teeth? or maybe ivory? The hallmarks are difficult to make out...Hallmark on a cartouche, the first 2 or 3 letters appear to be ALE, in the middle might be a copyright symbol, and the second word or name at bottom is KIRK. Anyone have any information on this??
Thanks evryone!

Looks like an '80s costume piece by Alexis Kirk, base metal rather than silver, the fangs are almost certainly a hard plastic of some kind.
