Which makes it more likely than 1911.... From memory, the 1911 series is all LC letters... david

Yes, the UC series began in 1925.

This is a site which I have found to be a good source on hallmarks.
I hope the link works.

Andy, quite frankly I think you should get a magnifying glass, have a look, then describe what it is you see ! J

hi j, had a look and it shows 3 items from l to r ancher,/ lion,/ m.

A nice worn example with the bonus of it being halmarked, you probably got it for a bit less than the last one I got from Bosleys auctions - Well done.
