The sponsor's mark identifies a person or company registered with an assay office so that items can be submitted for hallmarking under their responsibility. Although this mark is sometimes informally called a "maker's mark", its purpose has always been to establish responsibility rather than
718identify the manufacturer.</p> 719<p>The mark is applied on behalf of manufacturers, commissioners of goods, or third parties and can be applied to items made by others. Items may be submitted for hallmarking by the sponsor or an authorised representative.</p> 720<p>The Sponsor's Mark <span>comprises of the initials<span> </span></span>chosen by that person or company inside a <span>surrounding</span> shield shape. The shield shape varies, and a minimum of two, and maximum of five <span>initials </span>must be included.</p> 721<p>Every one is unique. </p> 722<p>When you register with us, you join a legacy of makers stretching back centuries.
