Albion® Trademarked Silver Bullion Bars

The Albion® Trademarked silver bullion bars are refined electrolytically to produce fine silver bars of 999 purity by the same refinery as the Sheffield Hallmarked bars were, after these bars were sadly discontinued, I stayed in contact with the refinery under its new management and spent the next few month’s organising the revival of these beautiful bars under my new registered Trademark ALBION.

As with the old Sheffield Bar’s The Albion Bar’s are sent off to the world Renowned Birmingham Assay Office where samples of the batch are tested for weight and purity, Please view photo of the certificate by scrolling through the photo’s.

Each bar has its own serial number label on the back of the bar consisting of a picture of the British isles coloured with the Union Jack & with the Sponsor’s mark ( ALBION ) beneath it,
It also has the individual bar serial number running along the side, the serial number consists of the bar weight. year of manufacture & individual bar serial Number.

Named after the oldest known name for the island of Great Britain long before the Romans referred to us as Britannia, These Beautiful poured hallmarked silver bullion bars come in 4 available sizes & Weights 100g, 250g, 500g & 1 Kilogram silver Bullion Bar’s & also include a 100 gram Matte finish bar.

Albion® Is now Also a Registered Trademark.

Each bar is supplied in a Suede Drawstring pouch as portrayed in the pictures! the larger Bars are sent out in a beautiful gift Box with Royal mail.

I came across John on Twitter by chance and after viewing some of the Beautiful items that he had created I asked him to look into making some Wooden cases for my hand poured 1 Kilogram silver bullion bars, a little exchange of idea’s & Measurements later I basically said to him “do what you think is best, bill me and send me a prototype when your done” the Result was a perfect prototype so I immediately ordered 6 from this one of a kind craftsman and was utterly delighted when they arrived.

The resulting 1 kilogram silver bullion bar Limited Edition Cases have been made to perfectly fit the Sheffield hallmarked Silver bullion bars, they have been signed and numbered individually by John Evans himself on the underside of the case, each case has been lined with black suede to protect the Bullion bar against scratches or damage & the 2 halves are held together with magnets.

As each wooden case has been individually handmade they have an individual character due to the Beautiful finish of the Walnut wood chosen by John resulting in the perfect combination of a hand poured silver bullion bar in a handmade Walnut case for someone wanting something beautiful, Individual and special for prosperity.

So if you want one click the link below or if you want something special made of wood perhaps give my regards to John and click his link above.

100 gram silver Bullion Bar in Presentation Capsule and giftbox

Posted on 1 January 201523 October 2022 by Martin Whitehouse

Dear customer,

The 100 gram silver Bullion bar in Presentation Capsule & Gift box for the Sheffield hallmarked bars.

Capsule Information

Due to the fact that no Bullion dealers have bothered to have capsules made for any silver bars larger than a 1 ounce bar I decided to have these made! Mainly because I hate sending out silver bars in sandwich bags.
The capsules are plastic with foam inserts which perfectly fit the Sheffield hallmarked 100 gram bars in this beautiful presentation capsule, they also fit the 100 gram Metalor bars.
I have also included a gift box mainly for protection during its transportation to the customer but also just in case the capsule is intended as a gift.

Bar Information

Independently verified and hallmarked silver bars by the Sheffield assay office, Registers of maker’s marks (now called sponsor’s marks) going back to 1773.
The sponsor’s mark is made up of two major components; the sponsor’s initials and the shape which surrounds them. The font or typeface of the initials and the particular shape of the surround are what distinguish a sponsor’s mark, In this case the initials SAO & the ROSE hallmark.
Brand new 100 gram silver bars manufactured in the Heart of Yorkshire & Hallmarked in Sheffield.
Each bar is refined electrolytically to produce fine silver products of 999 purity.
