Fisher & Ludlow Ltd MKII helmet. Question about markings

[psycopis]

Hallo,

I have one helmet whit this productor mark. FL. 408 1941. I think that is Fisher & Ludlow Ltd but I'm not sure. I compare this whit the other productors marks but I have mismatch.
Can you help me? Thanks.

FL. mark












Mark on my helmet


Is possible that this "FL." mark is a "F&L" variant or error.

F&L stamps are often / usually found at the rear of the shell of the helmet...and are usually "F&L"...could your "FL" simply be a coincidental steel batch number?

[psycopis]

Steel batch number should be 409. At the left of FL. there is nothing.

I compare the shape of mark whit other MKII productor but I have not found any correspondence.
So I only thought about F&L.

[psycopis]

F&L have also this shape of mark

I have 2 which are marked "FL 1/1940" at the rear...the usual place for a Fisher & Ludlow stamp but there is no other 3 digit number - I believe these are Fisher and Ludlow helmets

Thanks!

I feel hard done by, I've had/got loads of F&L stamped Mk2's, even Mk3's are stamped F&L.
But no FL

Here's a couple of F&L Mk3's.
