Description: | The band is inscribed on the inside Fear God love me, and bears the touch-mark AP (conjoined at the base).
Dimensions: Weight: 5.71g. Internal diameter: 19mm
Note: The dating of such rings can be difficult. The style of the lettering is post-1650, and it is probably early 18th-century in date (again based on the beginnings of a fluid letter style). The only AP mark noted by I Pickford, Jackson's Silver and Gold Marks (1989), and A G Grimwade, London Goldsmiths 1697-1837. Their Marks & Lives (London, 1976), is Abraham Portal, dated 1749. However the mark on this ring differs slightly, having conjoined feet.
