Default SP Firmin Motto

Hi All

I would be interested to see how many of us have this "Firmin" Motto in their collection?

Silver Plate (Looped E/W) NSN 8455-99-130-3056


I have an AA that has an earlier struck male die image (see blow). So what I am hoping to see is an SP with the same back image as this one below?

AA (Slider) NSN 8455-99-973-9382 Ptn No:18552


To see the full sequence, see here https://www.paoyeomanry.org.uk/Motto/Firmin1946AA.htm

Thanks Mac

1 = Firmin Motto Copy, looks well made? Whats the mark inside the skull?

2 = LB&BCo Motto, is that plated or solid?

3 = JRGaunt/London. Is that plated Mac or is it hallmarked? Its looks like it has the AA loops?

....I thought it was the AA This is the HMd Silver produced at the same time (also HMd in 1962).

... I dont doubt its silver Mac..... but thats a bit of an odd mark? the Birmingham mark stopped in 1974 and the shape of the date letter is not one I am seeing in the Birmingham lists? The Makers mark is a bit blurred as well? Must be an "artisan" piece?
