Just aquired a No 84 Steel vice and noticed its got AM cast in the body and the slider. Anybody got any ideas of its meaning? - I'm guessing Air Ministry but don't know

I realise this post is almost 2 years old now but did you ever establish whether the A.M. was Airministry ?

like it -- sometimes Tiranti (of Reading) called them Skopas Chops -- chops is a vice, but why Skopas? -- for carvers -- needs a screw to hold it through bench --- see also old French catalogues for similar
