Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

The maker was G. W. Lewis and Co. of 21, Hylton Street, Birmingham. They registered their mark at the Birmingham Assay Office in 1919 and seem to disappear around the time of WWII, or just after.

As for the date letter, that's difficult, but from what remains, perhaps the 'K' of 1934, or the 'N' of 1937.

Trev.
