The first two letters are the makers mark..then the 18 is the carat...the thistle within the mark..tells me that its an Edinburgh Hallmark...and its late Victorian...circa 1880/90

I would have to see a photo of the piece, but given the shape of the cartouche & the style of the date code, I think it may date to 1933.  I also couldn't find this maker.  Unfortunately I'm on my way into town & won't be back until tonight, hopefully someone else will come up with some more help.  GG

edited....  Just dug out my Bradbury's.  The date letter & cartouche is for 1924.  Sorry for the confusion.  GG
