I picked these up today, pretty straight forward though the small Crown & WG mark baffles me ~ (also the TRE mark).

TRE - RNAD Trecwn (Radioman1 worked there)
The WG in the lozenge and the crown are probably inspection marks

Hi Gordon the Crown / WG will be an inspectors or repairers mark TRE is for RNAD Trecwyn where the case was converted to blank. Tig:tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Hi Richard have had a quick look could not get many more marks on the bottom of the case

1 E. Curran & Co of Cardiff (EEC) Lot 118 Date 1924

2 looks like the date of 7.1956 when it was converted to Blank

3 It was reworked at RNAD Trecwn 1964

4 Looking at the markings of the primer 20 MK 2 FMI 1973 Filled at Chorley 6/1974 Lot 65

5 There are lots of inspection marks

Hope this info helps

Steve
