The bristles are natural and set into dark wooden bases. The silver backs bear a full set of British hallmarks. These include the maker’s mark “W.N” within a rectangular shield, the three wheat sheaves and a sword for the Chester assay office, a lion passant for sterling silver purity, and the lowercase date letter “x” corresponding to 1923.
