Many thanks for that Alan, looks like they only produced a narrow range of corps/regiments with makers stamps, best guesstimate now with your QC badge is 1947-65, but your badge could be early so it could be ten years shorter than that. I am sure the asset strippers were in by the earliest 1970s. ah the demise of british manufacturing... nowt left now you know.
