I now strongly suspect that L&Co was actually simply another mark used by Ludlow, what is the badge please, I take it that it's loops are copper wire?

10 - 'STERLING SILVER' and no maker mark, I think WWII
11- Probably a private maker with stamp TD and 'STGSIL'
12 - Modern maker 'EGF' with .925 stamp as well, and also the anchor stamp from a hallmark, but no actual hallmark.
With all the dealer lists I have looked at over the years, I have paid particular attention to the marks on the badges and I think these are all good. It'd be great it other members could show some of their badges and build on this.
I hope it is of some use.
Cheers,
Alex
