Unknown Sten Manufacturer Codes...

[staples57]

Asking the experts...

I recently purchased a DEWAT Mk. II Sten. The manufacturer markings & codes have me a bit stumped.

The receiver (magwell) is marked...
STEN MK II
E&Co

The trigger guard is marked...
J
H [?] LD
W
These initials are in a shield.


I believe that "E&Co" is Elkington & Company (Birmingham) however, I cannot find any info on "JHW LD.

What are you thoughts?

Any and all info is very much appreciated.
Many Thanks!
