Marks on an old watch

[bubba48]

Good morning.
I’m an italian collector of wristwatches and I’ve recently purchased an old watch with a sterling case.



On the inside caseback there are some marks that I’d like to identify.





I know that the triangle is the import mark of Birmingham, but what about the “GS” mark? And the “S” is for 1917 or what else?

Moreover on the buckle there are some more marks that I can’t identify.





Could you help me?

Many thanks

Is there anyone who can help me?? ;-)

I'll take a shot at the buckle - Lion passant, leopard head, 'c' - for London, 1918-19.

As for the watch case, I believe you have it right, with the 'GS' being the sponsor submitting the piece for marking.

Hello.

For the GS mark, George Stockwell's company Stockwell & Co, from 1907, is a possibility.
