Hello, I have a very old (19th century?) leather wallet in my posession and I can't seem to find any information about the maker. There is a British Dieu et mon droit coat of arms on the front, also bearing the letters L and M under it, and then another mark of a goat (?) with the letters J. L. and a W underneath the goat. I had someone suggest the J. L. could stand for John Lobb. I've read that John Lobb manufactured leather goods, as well, but I'm struggling to find any pictures of his old 19th cenuty maker's mark or anything of the sort.

I think this is not 19th century. The mention of "Trade Mark" makes me think rather of 20th century
