The stamping is as follows.
9 375 G WJJ then a shield lying on it’s side with what looks like 3 little mounds.
Answer: G’day George and many thanks for your query.
This is a classic UK British hallmark indicating 9 carat gold - then 375 (which is the decimal mark for 9 ct gold) followed by the date letter of the year it was made (G) and the Maker’s Mark, Store or design mark (WJJ).
The shield is the Assay office mark for the town of CHESTER, where it was stamped.
There is a Free British Hallmarking course available here:
