13Pr 9cwt

Hi,

Can someone help me with the meaning of R above a star and where does WSW stands for?
Both markings are on the primer of two 13Pr 9cwt cases.

Thanks,
Mathias

Hand stamped.

I am no expert but I think that given the fact that the "WSW" is very small and appears to be hand stamped and not in any sort of die holder it is probably the inspectors mark.
