Hallmarking
is an internationally recognised endorsement of purity and quality, which
is applied to all of our aircraft at the London Assay Office where the
silver is tested to determine its grade. Typically the hallmark is stamped
onto the side of the fuselage.
This mark indicates the organisation responsible for the production of the aircraft and is unique to that organisation. In our case the letters SV represent the two directors of Diverse Images.
The Lion mark shows that the metal used is silver.
To show the purity of the silver, in this case 92.5% purity the 925 mark is used this is the required grade for sterling silver.
Each assay office has its own mark, the mark of the London assay office is the leopards head.
To indicate when the aircraft was hallmarked a date letter is used to represent the year of hallmarking.
