The Identification of Sheffield Plate
Ref: PLTBK
by Matheau-Raven, Hardback, 233 pages.
Present an 'expert' with a sliver plated item and he will probably examine it in great detail before pronouncing the obvious, "It's silver plated"...when what you wanted to know was: how old is it and who made it and when did they trade and what else did they make, and did they have any other marks and trade names? The answers are in this book.

The Gold & Silver Buyer's Handbook
Ref: BK
The author is me - the proprietor of QUICKTEST.
For six years I worked in a somewhat unique shop (just off London's Leicester Square) - the main business was scrap (I worked in the shop testing and buying the scrap) and bullion (the boss worked in the office doing the 'deals').
As a sideline the boss dealt in coins and medals; as another 'sideline' I built up the Secondhand Jewellery side of the business.
I found myself accumulating pages of useful information...which eventually became this book.
