Here is what I can add, I have an Irish Guards W/O pattern cap star in my collection. The piece is marked "Ludlow/ Sterling /London".
The cap star has been brooched and inscribed
"To Mum, Love, Violet & Arthur 1943"
Assuming that the piece had not been pre-dated during the engraving it appears as if they were using the name Ludlow by 1943.
