The English 18 carat gold case is hallmarked with the case maker's mark "AS", the "crown and "18" for 18 carat gold, the Leopard's Head London town mark and date letter "P" for 1850/51. The plain gold case has the family crest of the original owner engraved to the centre of the rear cover. The suspension loop is not hallmarked therefore not gold and may be a later replacement.
