Congrats on the silver!  OPT may be a maker's hallmark.  Where is the Celtic silver?  HH, Mike

Cool Website-Forum dealing exclusively with Silver marks--very very active and knowledgable contributors


5. MAKER'S MARKS
The enforced use of the maker's mark was instituted in London in 1363. Its purpose was to prevent the forgery of leopard?s head marks upon silver of debased content by providing an indication of the party responsible for the piece. Originally, makers' marks were pictograms, but by the beginning of the 17th Century it had become common practice to use the maker's initials.
