I have 2 different types of No. 2 and 8 different types of No. 4.

Well at long last I have proved there is indeed a No. 3 Wounded Stripe.

Manufacturer marked by both S.S. Ltd and also Marsh & Co. Birmingham.

Very rare and never seen another.

Both the stripe and the back plate are designated No. 3

regards
