British 9k rings, hard to read hallmarks

[Hypersparkle]

I did the very best I could taking loupe pictures of these hallmarks, but they're SO tiny and in the middle of these wide bands so it is incredibly hard to see them. I can read the 375 on both of them, but I am struggling to figure out the rest. I really would like to figure out how old they are.

Y'all are so amazing and I am in awe of your knowledge base! :D

Too small in your picture too. I can see the 375, then the Birmingham anchor. To the left of the 375 is what must be a crown; this was introduced about 1975, I believe, so your ring is most likely later than that, but the date letter on the far right is not discernible. The sponsor's mark appears to begin with G but the second letter is not clear, possibly D? In any case identification will be difficult as there are no published comprehensive references to modern sponsors' marks - although of course Birmingham Assay Office keeps records of all marks.

Yeah they are RIDICULOUSLY tiny marks making it incredibly difficult to photograph. I tried using a new magnifying lamp and my macro lens on my phone. Slightly better, but gosh they're tough. I took them in to the jewelry store and they couldn't read anything besides the 375 with their loupe which is more powerful than mine!

These ones are clickable to make them easier for zooming.
