Egypt

 

From 1 September, 1916, the hallmarking system established by the law of 8 August, 1906, carne into force. Items produced in Egypt were stamped with three marks:  1.  fineness and assay office (Cairo 800/1000).  2.  Government mark  3.  Date letter.  These three marks were stamped on all the main parts of a product. Small items were only marked with a stamp of quality. The law of 1906 and the marks used were valid until 1946.
