Can anyone tell me anything about the markings please?
The padlock with RP stamped vertically has a Birmingham sterling silver hallmark with the date letter V for 1970/71. I have no idea who RP is.
The oil lamp charm is also Birmingham sterling silver 1970/71. I can’t make out the maker’s mark but it probably wouldn’t matter as there are no comprehensive published makers’ marks records.
The third image, another RP, is Birmingham again but I can’t be sure whether the date letter is V or the U of 1969/70.
I don’t recognise the trade mark in the next picture but I think I can make out a rather fuzzy Birmingham pattern lion passant so there may be a complete hallmark hiding there somewhere.

Thanks, Phil. I read somewhere else RP is the makers mark for Robert Pringle & Sons?!
Pringles did use the letters RP, but in a completely different punch shape.
