Identifying Your 1804 Gold Signet Ring: 'Sub Cruce Salus' & J.M. Maker

Question
I have a gold signet ring, hallmarked "g" which relates to 1804, which has 2 wings on the front surface and a banner below them with the inscription "Sub Cruce Salus". It is 18 caret gold with the assay symbol of an anchor (Birmingham UK) and a manufacturing mark - J.M (with the dot in the middle of the letters rather than at the bottom). Can you give me any further information ? Thanks

Answer
Hello Peter and thank you for your inquiry. Sub Cruce Salus is Latin for Salvation Under the Cross. As you already know it is Birmingham UK. I have listed a site below that has all of the British hallmarks.  You should be able to find your mark listed. Just copy and paste the below url into your browser address field and hit enter:
