What does itr mean when something is hallmarked by a silver company then also stamped hard white metal?
When something is hallmarked by a silver company and stamped as "hard white metal," it typically means that the item is made of a non-precious, white metal such as stainless steel or nickel silver. The silver company may have used it as a base or as part of the item's construction. This indicates that the item is not made of sterling silver or another precious metal.

What does WJ Mean stamped on a sterling silver harp pin?
WJ would be the sponsor's mark aka, the initials of the person or company that made the ring. With out a picture I couldn't tell you more. However, if it has been hallmarked and assuming it was hallmarked in the UK for example specifically in Edinburgh, there would be a small stamp looking like a castle, there would also be three numbers like 925 which represent the parts silver per thousand. Also, a letter by itself, the character a, b, c etc and its font identify the year the item was made or at least registered with the assay office. Hope that helps?
