I would hang on to it for now. It was most certainly made by Firmin and I would say within the last 10 years.

Are those two initials to the right of the slider just below the lower depression 5 o'clock or just die flaws? The rest of the rear of the badge appears to be consistently smooth apart from this area.

Regards,

Chris
No initials Chris unfortunately.
Thanks Andy
