Information about the Chester assay office
Items have been manufactured, assayed and sold in Chester since the 15th Century and the mark for Chester is a shield bearing the town’s arms, a sword and three sheaves of wheat. Chester was granted an official Assay Office by an Act of Parliament in 1700. Its marks were similar to those of London and the sequence of date letters followed in alphabetical order. The Chester assay office closed down in 1962. Please visit this website for further information about UK assay offices, past and present.
