Dennis England

Dennis England was a very mysterious maker in the early 2000’s. He had a short run where he produced many varieties of fantasy-type bars. Often the hallmarks had close ties with believable refineries but actually were nothing more than well-designed fictional creations. A telling feature of a Dennis England silver bar is what is typically described as a “linen texture” on the bar finish itself. Here we have tried to document many of the known DE hallmarks…but there are undoubtedly many more that have been unsubstantiated…
