Nutmeg Grinder

I'm reading Nutmeg Grinder
There are 5 marks inside the grinder and 3 inside the hinged bottom.
Maker CRGS - which my best guess is Charles Rawlings and George Smith, but I can't find a sample hallmark with both their names.
(this is mostly to show the admins I'm trying here)
I'm also not sure about the Date - 1829 perhaps which matches King George IV and the Uncrowned Head.
(still trying)
The rest: King George IV/ Sterling .925 / Date 1829 ? / Uncrowned Leopards head
Finally, when I took the photo of the inside of the lid, I was able to spot what looks like writing scratched into the silver, which is mostly invisible to the naked eye. No clue on any of that.
Thanks again!
