Too small in your picture too. I can see the 375, then the Birmingham anchor. To the left of the 375 is what must be a crown; this was introduced about 1975, I believe, so your ring is most likely later than that, but the date letter on the far right is not discernible. The sponsor's mark appears to...

The key mark is a Geneva "Poinçon de Maître" mark. The system is explained here. The number 5 is associated with Georges Croisier whose initials appear on the triangular Geneva mark.

LL is properly called the "sponsor's mark"; i.e. the mark of whoever sent the piece to the assay office for testing and marking. In this case Lewis Lewis would be the importer. He and his company, Lewis & Son of Brighton, Sussex, are known importers of Dutch silver.

Hi and welcome to the forum. This is an electroplate mark of Lehman Brothers Silverware Corporation of New York. The full mark shows a lion and unicorn supporting a shield with the letters E P / N S on it. See https://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_L.html. Some Lehman marks have "Silver on Copper...

To avoid confusion I have removed the previous post which you mention.

Hi and welcome to the forum. The "maker's" mark on British hallmarks is more correctly called the sponsor's mark and is the mark of whoever sent the piece for assay. For imported pieces such as your watch the sponsor is normally also the importer. The LS is the mark of Hernu, Peron & S...

The sponsor's mark is that of Henry Charles Freeman of Hatton Garden, London. As he was based in London it is possible that the actual maker was a Birmingham manufacturing silversmith.

Aitken is in my Chester list (search for my site using my user name).

Chester 1901. This WA is William Aitken of Vyse Street, Birmingham.

It always assists identification if we know the assay office.

Your "clear" C&SCoLtd is actually G&SCoLtd - Goldsmiths & SIlversmiths Co Ltd. FH are the initials of Francis Higgins III.

See https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17477 for G&SCoLtd

This is one modern mark which I have been able to identify. It's J A Campbell.

I have a couple of JAC marks listed but as your images are not showing it is not possible to say whether your JAC is one of them or another one entirely. I think you may have made the mistake of putting a web page address inside the image tags rather than the image address.

HI and welcome to the forum.

You are completely correct with your identification of assay office, date and maker. Chester punches are seen to vary in shape, no doubt following a rule which I have not yet been able to decode.

That "p" is the Birmingham date letter used on items below the dutiable limit for the assay year 1889/90. I suspect the clip is the only silver part as I would expect each chain link to have a lion passant and each part of the whistle to be hallmarked with at least a partial mark.
