'Charles' Smith backmark?

[Roy]

Hi Gents,

Any comments on the Charles Smith 12 Piccadilly backmark?

Of the top of my head I don't recall seeing this one before. I don't think it is related to the Smith, Kent & Write company but could be wrong.

Any thoughts, comments always welcome?

Cheers,

Roy
