Forgive me for asking but is it a KC or a QVC - I couldn't tell.

interesting point re : the crown: ... if it's a "U" date letter then its 1894, 1919 or 1944, and if is a king's crown, and definitely B&P, then the first date is excluded and their MM.hallmark continued beyond 1916 or... it's a different company also using a B&P mark.
