Hallmarks...required if item isn't "sold"?
Hello all
I'm a hobbyist silversmith, only making items that fall within the exemption weights for sale.
However, for work, I am making a silver "trophy" which is going to be a little heavier than the exemption weight.
My question is, does the item still need hallmarking if it technically isn't being sold? It's a prize, so in theory the winner has paid for it through hard work, but no cash is exchanging hands.

I think Steve covered this in the thread, that a Retailer as the sponsor, rather than a manufacturer, can put their mark on items made by their contractors.
What I said was illegal was someone offering a service to use their registration to hallmark another persons else's items which are then returned to them for sale.
This is not what retailers do.
