TonyE Posted 3 May , 2007 Share Posted 3 May , 2007 I cannot find them in my makers listing, but it is only up to 1916. You will probably find that the company you are looking for has the intials ATN as I think the DY part will refer to Derby, one of the Ministry regional inspection offices. For example, Rolls Royce's code was RR DY. That may narrow it down a bit. Also, the initials on the casing will only be those of the company that made the casting, not the manufacturer/filler.

Regards TonyE Thanks Tony Very useful hint. I'll try to follow that up. The round is a 2" Toffee Apple. The markings on the body are - 2" Trench Howitzer A.T.N.D.Y - July 1916 I'll try to post a photo in a day or so. Gunner Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
