As the marks include both the London lion and the Birmingham anchor, I am not at all clear whether is is from a London or Birminham maker, but in neither can I find the maker's mark identified.
I would appreciate someone more knowledgeable giving me some feedback.

From further research the maker is clearly Harry Synyer and Charles Joseph Beddoes (1900-1949) of Vyse Street Birmingham, but the F date letter in its particular cartouche seems out of kilter?
Any clues what is going on, here?

The marks you are showing in 2nd photo are Sponsor as you found, Town mark for Birmingham,
Lion Passant for sterling silver and the Birmingham Date Letter which I read as 1930.

Many thanks for your input. The 925-1000 site didn't seem to have date marks beyond 1924, up to the present period which is what caused my confusion partly.

Hi John,

You seem to be labouring under the illusion that the Lion Passant is peculiar to London. This is not the case, the mark represents the 925/1000 sterling standard and is to be found used by all the assay offices in England.
