104 forum posts | The “Stuartturnersteam.com” website shows examples with and without and also one with “Stuart Turner” on it . The maker’s own website shows it without ,presumably patterns got lost over the years and it was easier to make a plain replacement. Seems a shame,really

If you did want an S or maybe an ST then part off a bit of iron bar, cut to shape with a piercing saw and stick the letters into the cover recess with JBweld and then machine flush with teh border. |
