They are hallmarked with the maker's mark "AW" for Andrew Wilkie, the Scottish "thistle" sterling silver mark, the Monarch's Head duty mark, the Edinburgh "castle" town mark and date letter. All the forks date letter "E" 1836/37. The spoons have two with date letter "F" for 1837/38 and two with "V" for 1827/28.
