- Maker's Mark: The central shield-shaped mark with "M&W" and "G&S Co" likely belongs to the Gold & Silversmiths Company, which was a trade name for Mappin & Webb.
- Assay Office Mark: The mark on the left, a crowned leopard's head, signifies that the item was assayed (tested and stamped) at the London Assay Office.
- Standard Mark: The mark on the right, a lion passant, indicates that the item is made of sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver.
- Date Letter: The mark at the top, a gothic-style "f" in a shield, corresponds to the year 1901.
- Duty Mark: The mark at the bottom is likely a duty mark, which was used to indicate that a tax had been paid on the item. This particular one, a crowned head, represents King Edward VII, who reigned from 1901 to 1910.
