This "London Assay mark has been a real stumper for me, perhaps someone can help... it has all of the following markings:
    Lion passant - England

    925 - sterling

    leopards head - London

    "a" - 1916 or 1956

What I can not figure out is the Assay/maker's mark which consists of two "sided" triangles which face each other, and inside of each triangle is a letter. The first is a "J", but the second is not definitive... could be a W, M, H, X, N???

I would LOVE to find out who the maker was, as it has been driving me crazy.

HELP!!!

Thanks
