Hi
Does anybody recognise the makers initials on this hallmarked large variety A&SH Officer's badge.

Thanks for any suggestions.

(As disclosure it is in process of being sold by me to a UK dealer).
Thanks
Mark

Mark, possibly B W Fase & Co Oxford St London. The last letter is distorted. London 1923.

Berkely William Fase died in 1896, the Company traded under that name at 50 Oxford St untill declared bankrupt in 1920, the badge is dated 1923 maybe the makers stamp was altered.
