Hi gang,
Is there anyone who knows anything about heraldic crests ? I am trying to find out about a ring .
It's a signet ring , one you would use to imprint a wax seal .
It has a crown with 4 feathers through it , the prince of wales has 3 , a crown and the words' Ich Dien' underneath , i beleive this ring may have royal origin , but want to discover whose the crest is first ....
The back is stamped with LW&G which i beleive is the makers mark , but i have been unable to find out who this is ...
It is stamped 375 , which i think is 9ct gold , and some other stamps , but i can't see them as i haven't got a magnifying glass i will try and get one soon , presumably they are the assay marks .... and i will be able to date it from this.
Really though , i just want to know about the crest ...
Thanks in advance
