Hey Sue,
Thanks for adding this great shot of a Marrakech Hallmark from 1925
In this very detailed photo we can clearly see the small Letter 'M' to the lower left of the Hallmark, this is seen of pieces from Marrakech, and also by extension was used in Essaouria.
There is an identical mark for Fes, which has a small 'F' in place of the M.. The Fes assay also covered pieces made in Meknes.
An educational opportunity which I am sure we will all welcome!
Many thanks
