      This one is Georgian too.
      Lion passant for silver. Crowned Leopards head for London.

      Off to the date code K .... 1725, I think.

      https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Dates/London/Cycle%201716-1735.html

      Kings Head .... George II

      MAKER ON LEFT ...... BC

      But is it BC ?.??.?

      MAYBE A LIGHT RUB WITH A PENCIL OVER TISSUE PAPER !!!

      London 1805 because there is duty mark introduced 12/1/1784, therefore cannot be older than that.Besides,leopard`s head crowned for 1725 was different.
      Duty mark of George III in an oval was used 1786 - 1821, so everything matches.
      Unfortunately, without exactly deciphered maker`s initials, positive identification is not possible.

      I apologise, IVAN IS CORRECT.

      Thanks vet and Ivan for the great help, I didn’t even realise this was Georgian,I’ve had this a few years but was always out looking and buying so things would get boxed and eventually forgotten about
