2pr markings

Thanks for posting markings, as I am collecting info on a spread sheet of stampings, company and what they made and when by getting info from actual samples. You might be pleased to know examples like yours do not turn up very often here in England, I got one recently form a dealer cost a bit less than 100 but just had to have it.
