Does anyone know which company used the maker's mark "S&S"? I have an example of it on a British 2 Pounder No.2 Anti-Tank case. I have also seen it on a standard (trench-arted so I didn't buy it) 2 Pounder AA case.
One of the previous titles of the company was 'James Deakin & Sons' In about 1936 the company changed its name to 'Sidney Silversmiths' also Sidney was subsequently spelt 'Sydney'. I suspect that the monogram may be a play on Deakins & Sons, or similar. A lot of monograms defy logic.
D & S was the monogram of Davidson & Stewart of Edinburgh. However, the use of a monogram by one company would not preclude the use by another. There are countless instances of companies sharing the same monogram. A quick search reveals that a minimum of eight different establishments had 'W' as a monogram and to complicate matters further some of the companies were possibly producing similar items.
