Need help to identify marking in my Grandmother's watch.

[FintryGirl]

This was my grandmother's watch, would like to identify the marking's in it. Trying to find out the age of it may be the make. It has a 9 at the top P to the left side Lions head right side, 375 on bottom LA below 375, numbers below are 525759. Scratched in to the right of the lion head are 2 sets of numbers, 24295 and below that 9483R. Any help would be appreciated. My grandmother was born 1880 in Glasgow.
Thanks

Out of my expertise. Possibly a good jeweler could identify or put you in touch with a watch collector.

The web site below may give you some ideas.

The leopards head is a London hallmark. Date marks for London;  http://www.thebigworld.co.uk/blogimage/london_dated_hallmarks.jpg

.375 indicates it's 9 carat gold. The letter p is the date letter for 1930. Leopard's head is London assay office. LA is makers mark (cant find)

I think it's 1830 Probably not, being a wrist watch it,s more likely to be 1930 like Greenvale said.
Although 1930 the "p" is in a square, not a circle.

The numbers scratched on the right side are likely to be pawnbrokers references.  There is no way to identify when and where they were made.

A hypothesis:
The watch was hallmarked in 1930.  Your grandmother was born in 1880.  So the watch may have been a 50th birthday present.
On two occasions the watch was pawned to raise cash (Unemployment? A child's marriage?)
The watch looks to be in good condition and is now a treasured heirloom.

All the best

Scratched numbers needn't be pawnbrokers but watch repairers marks.

Quite right Lizzie, we didn't have pawnbrokers in Glasgow!

The LA mark looks like that of the City Watch Case Co Ltd (Louis Arnould) - see http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/London-L.html
