Since first published in 1991 Pocket Jackson's, as it is most often
called, has enjoyed enormous success and is constantly rated as a
best seller in the Arts & Antiques category. During the last
twenty three years important developments have taken place in the
Hallmarking system. Most notably the introduction within Europe of
a universally accepted system of marking has lead not only to the
addition of new marks, but also, to a change of status of several
historic marks. This edition brings up to the present day all the
date letters and commemorative marks. It also includes the recently
introduced marks for Palladium and a section illustrating the Assay
Office identification marks of those countries that are signatories
to the International Convention marking system. In addition and of
importance are the changes made in the early cycles of Dublin date
letters which result from recent research by silver scholars in
Ireland.
