I have searched many web sites, but can't locate hallmarks that match those on a watch I have. I assume it's British and would like to identify the city, date, and silversmith. Can anyone help?

Help... Can't find hallmarks pictured
Hi Bob,
Welcome to the Forum.
I read the hallmarks as London 1835. See: http://www.925-1000.com/dlLondon.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The watchcase maker is likely to be Samuel Strahan who at this time was working out of 36, Whites Row, Spitalfields.
If you were confused by the lack of a point at the base of the dateletter surround, it is because, on smaller items of this period, a rounded base surround was used.
