There is no answer to your question. If you are talking about English hallmarks, the initial indicates the year on manufacture, But the alphabet only has 26 letters and I am not cerain that all those letters were used. Anyway, assuming that they were, every 26 years, the sequence would have to start over at 'a' again. So, different styles of lettering were used so that an exact year of manufacture could be ascertained. You need to check in your local public library or purchase a handbook of English silver marks. To confuse matters even further, the same letter might indicate a totally different year depending upon which city the item was made in, London. Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle for instance.

B&G could indicate the name of the silversmith. Generally the hallmarks(stamped impressions) indicate the silversmith, location of office of item being assayed, year letter,silver content(Sterling or Britannia). Russian silver does not have year letters only numbers.
