Trying out my first Hallmarking session

[Hart-Star]

Hi folks,
I've just finished relocating my shed/workshop/production facility from Northumberland to Cornwall, (just down the road from the Mid Cornwall School of jewellery - but no links)

Having slowly learned how to make stuff, and even to prepare master patterns to send off to a caster, I have reached the realisation that the pieces are big enough to need a Hallmark. Sadly the graphical punch I have been using isn't adequate.

So having chosen a Sponsors Mark (HS) I'm sending my first batch off to be hallmarked today.

I guess its taken me some 4 years of weekends and evenings to get me this far.
