London Makers Mark

Can anyone help with this mark - I believe it's London 1905 which would be consistent with family history -

The makers mark seems to be James Wakely & Frank Clarke Wheeler (1884..1908, registered Oct 1884):

The date letter is "n" so that would be London 1908.

I hope I don't sound too patronising when I say "well done with the pictures"! Nice and clear and easily identifiable - when you know what you're looking for.

You are right with London, but this "n" is the date letter for the assay year 1908/09. The maker's mark is JW over FCW, the mark of Wakely and Wheeler (James Wakely & Frank Clarke Wheeler). They first registered this mark in 1891 and used it until 1909.
