These things happen John, no worries - where did you see the image to copy?
ST - you pose quite a challenge Victorian England was awash with wealth amongst the merchants, bankers and landed gentry who may have been more asset rich than cash. I think the flamboyance of VB uniforms would have led to hallmarked silver HP's to more tha a few Officer's.
Lord Derby with hallmarked cap badges to Liverpool Pals and then there are those to the 11th Border so this might infer that there are hallmarked HP's to units they were associated with per chance. London regiments or any associated with the crown by way of Royal Honorary Colonel the Prince of Wales?
Will think on, cheers Dean.
