Other Notable “M” Hallmarks

We will close out the “M” box with some very nice examples, all highly collectible vintage pieces. Enjoy.

A favorite of mine and I wish I had more examples, is Mastiff Metals. Iconic hallmark of a Bullmastiff. These are so hard to find and considered tier one bars among collectors. Found in 5 and 10 oz class, albeit hardly ever, you’d be lucky to come across one in the wild.

Around the hallmark are the words “Faithful Guardian.”

Here is an absolute stunning example of a 5 oz class shared from Brian R’s collection. This is as good as it gets

Perfect stamp and no pour character around the face like my example above.
Perfection.
Reverse, 5.06 troy oz odd weight.

Next up is an MSR ingot, a nice old pour with picture frame on both the 5 and 10 oz. Not an easy bar to find, particularly in 5 oz.

The hallmark is found on the reverse side on these. See below.
You can see the MSR at top with 999 purity in the middle and Fine at bottom of bar.

MEE is another neat vintage piece that typically is found in 5 oz class. I like the look at style of these.

Nice toned example. Very unique hallmark. Wish I knew more about them.
Weight stamp on reverse.

Morris and Watson is an Australian refiner that’s been around for years and still in business today. This is a nice 250 gram example.

Love the stamp on these. Very tough bars to find.

Next is a Mehlos Refinery ingot. Classic old pour style.

Beautiful example.
Beautifully toned reverse.

Next is another very cool old pour from MCR Division of Greb.

Really cool old pour from a bygone era.

Last is MSC, that can be found in 5 and 10 oz class. Note this mold is same mold as Doyle’s Mint, RCG, Regold, and a few others.

Love this mold.
