Default Button Maker Mark ID Sought

Hi

Hoping that one of our Button aficionados can assist please.

The attached image is of the rear of a 16mm Diameter Royal Observer Corps Officers Button, its the first I have seen with this back mark - can someone identify the manufacturer for me please?

Best Wishes

Dave

Hi Rob

Thank you - I thought I'd seen it on the forum before, but couldn't find it through the 'search' feature, although still unknown its the first ROC button i've seen with this mark on - so very pleased to add it to the collection.

Best Wishes

Dave
