Default Makers marks

Happy new year to all members and friends on the site

Can anyone tell me how i go about contributing photos to the Makers Marks project, as i have an Indian makers mark for Chatur Bihari & Bros, Aligarh U.P. that would go well on the site.

Many thanks

The letters AB could be A.B. Cook? With Cook under the lug?

Default Makers Mark F&S

Please find photos of a Queen's Gurkha Signals badge (rear) showing a makers mark for F&S. I've tried searching the forum for this mark but no hits. I believe the badge is post 1990. Firmin & Sons perhaps?
