Ireland became independent in 1922 and introduced its own hallmarks on April 4, 1923, thus the marks of .925 and P in a 4-clover, plus the import mark are Irish. This makes both sets of hallmarks the Irish and English around the same date of 1930-1931. Ref: Tardy's "International Hallmarks on Silver", page 285.
