what the number 5 means?
I just got a nice old fruit knife. It was given to me as a gift from my daughter who lives in England. It has a pearl handle and some hall marks. A lion, stands for England, I gess. A crowns is a symbol for England. TM is the maker's mark and means Thomas Marples. But there is a hallmark that I dont known what it does mean: 5
Does some one can help me on that?
