Can anyone identify this chain ?

I need a new anchor chain and I’m having trouble identifying what kind of links these are. I know they are 3/8 but can anyone confirm if its G3/4 or G43 or BBB? My understanding is that these are different. Or does someone maybe recognize the windlass and can tell me what it needs?

Why don't you take a link (or a short length) to a marine store and you'll be able to compare it to various chains sold there ?

You need to measure the links and then we can help.

Look closely ath the chain links it should be marked. If not measure as Tupaia noted and then you can cross reference it.

That's a lofrens windlass. They have the chain specs allowed cast into the side of the gypsy. Assuming it works well with the chain you have, that will tell you what you need to know.
