The makers names. First one was on the other limber and 2nd one is on my limber. The other limbers he had sold. Hard to make out but could be a F. Has a small C before the number and the towing hook? and tyres made in Canada.
Reg number on the one i bought is 29108 and on the other limber 29916.

It's an F. on both, so Frost & Wood. The plate is F.&W. but they've kerned the F and the '.' together to squeeze everything onto the plate.

Is there a manual on the limber or is it in part of the 25Pdr manual.
