No prizes for this: National Projectile Factory

Thomas Firth & Sons owned the factory but I've always thought that :

TFS - Templeborough Factory Sheffield.

My reasoning is that when the badge is fitted in the backplate only the T & S are visible which could indicate 'Templeborough Sheffield" but would actually obscure the factory owners name (Firth).


Funny that both would fit the initials.
