My Albion looks somewhat different!

Q: If you hijack a thread with a pistol, is that an Armed Hold-up?

Now that's a worthwhile hijack! I had no idea Albion (of Glasgow) had produced munitions! You learn something new everyday!

Yes that's fine Tony! Great info.

As part of sharing war production around as much as possible, Albion's plant was contracted to make 24,000 .380cal No2, Mk1* revolvers, as well as barrels for Sten guns and numerous small parts such as springs, pins and screws for other gun trade manufacturers.

Any thoughts on ids please? BY 1, BY3 and WD131 are all possibilities.
