Propellant from Ar., and MS3 type

Hi,


I am looking for the name of the producer or town that produced gun propellant [nitroglicerin powder 1,3x10x10 mm] - the name should contain the letters "Ar." maybe "A ....... r" or "A..r .....".

In 1933, in one of the weapon depots, there was gunpowder M1916 for Skoda howitzers - Czechoslovakian and from the UK. Maybe it is a sign of one of the UK producers? For example - "Sm." its a "Semtin".



Other problem is for smokeless propellant from USA with designation MS3 (in pre-war list from depot in Poland: “American rolled powder”). Probably other designation is a "S3M" - or its misspelled. I found nothing in google...

Regards
 
Thanks! I check a archival papers: orders from 1929- "Nobel", and other "ICI" papers for the same order type. So must be Ardeer.
