Fascinating. I do not doubt that mark is absolutely original.
This interesting North Devon Hussars recently entered my collection. Initially I thought it was on unusual WM replacement loops but after getting it in the hand I’m convinced they are the originals and after making enquiries I’ve been told it may be an officer’s badge which has lost its gilt.
As you can see the mark is exactly the same including the unusual shaped O and the gap to the S without an apostrophe. Now very interestingly this makers stamp is different to the ones used to mark sliders Lambourne’s Birmingham.
