Paddy,

Not quite the same, but pretty close; RNR HMS Forward

HMS Forward is the naval establishment in Birmingham im sure.
The arm and hammer are usually found on top of the shield on the City of Birmingham coat of arms.

Mike & JT

Many thanks for your replies. Looks like it could be Birmingham related but nothing positive yet, may have to go down as one of the unknowns.
