The date letter looks like B for 1757 but you are going to have to supply a bigger picture for the maker's mark to be identifiable. I think it may begin with W.

I you open the picture on a new tab you can see a high resolution version. The first letter of the maker's mark is W and then there's a pellet. The second letter is visible only partially but could be B or D. My guess would be Walter Brind.

Hi Phil
Yes I initially thought B for 1757, but it just didn't look like the one on your site.
Thank you 👍

I think it's an upside down M. The serifs in that position pretty much rule out a W. So my suggestion would be IM for John Muns.
