The early transitional Phase is considered to be 1962-1964; the first two years after the Barling family sold the company (Hacker indicates the transition started in 1960 as he dates the sale to 1960). The following pictures of a Barling apple with a sterling military bit also points to a later dating for the change of ownership and nomenclature than Hacker's 1960 date. It clearly shows hallmarks for the year 1961 and yet has all of the other accepted "Pre-Trans" stampings - 3 digit number, arched logo, etc... You can find the hallmark chart at this [http://www.silvercollection.it/englishsilverhallmarks.html URL]. Look at the entry for 1961 - slightly diagonal lowercase "'''f'''" in a beveled rectangular shield. It's a perfect match! | [[File:1008-5-3.jpg|thumb|left| Barling Presentation Straight Grain EXEXEL- Courtesy Yuriy Novikov]] | ||
