Synopsis

This Volume II of the World Hallmarks book series, designed as a complement to World Hallmarks - Volume I – Europe, covers the precious metal hallmarks for gold, silver, platinum and palladium from hallmarking countries around the world, outside of Europe. This well laid out book is comprised of 52 dedicated country chapters on hallmarking, including information on the marking policies of 5 non-hallmarking countries, and numerous reference charts. While the United States does not hallmark, many countries around the world do. Encompassing regions worldwide, this comprehensive book illustrates hallmarks from countries in and around Eurasia, North Africa, South East Asia, and more. Identify with confidence the little known hallmarks from countries like Kuwait, Mongolia, and Sri Lanka, learn to read the elusive date marks of Egypt from 1906 to date, recognize the distinction of Tunisian and Moroccan hallmarks, and much more. Never before has a book, reporting on the hallmarking of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium metals, been published in such detail and on so many countries. Each individual chapter covers the historical perspective of each region, methodologies of marking, and the evolution of that country's legal precious metal hallmarking standards. Written in English, this over 400 page book has newly rendered graphic imagery with clearly described hallmark examples. This book is a valuable resource for auction houses, reference libraries, antique dealers, appraisers, and collectors, and is a must have ready reference essential for anyone dealing with or collecting precious metal objects from the 19th to 21st centuries. This embossed hardcover book has a stitched spine, glossy dust jacket, is printed and sealed in the USA, and built to endure years of page turning. ISBN 9780979762857, 0979762855
