Default Maker : E Armfield & Co ?

Is there a maker called :-

"E Armfield & Co" ...... possibly with another initial at the start?

Does anyone have any information on this Maker .....or have a badge that is marked on the slider?

Quite a scarce maker! Only seen it on a Warwicks Yeo so far! I think they made more buttons than badges?

Please don't start a million threads on Bears though!

lol

The slider is marked as seen below..... a bit different to the mark you have shown?

Griff,
size is wrong too! I'd say that's more of a "Fakers" than "Makers" Mark and one to avoid!

I'd say someone has added that mark to a genuine badge?
