Re: w.marshall stamped on a case.

No idea about the stamping but that is the correct place for the early breather on an M23 & M24.
It did not stay there for long about 2 years from memory ( read I am too tired / lazy th get the books out to check ).

Wm marshall were makers of tractors thrahing machines and so on in Gainsborough Lincolnshire . In ww2 they made navel guns and also midget submarines. I do not think this is the one you are after .

It went to Godfreys, London W1 on 10/12/1938 according to the frame book...and on 10/1/1938 according to the engine book !

I have the impression that the despatch clerk at BSAs regularly turned up pissed or at least with a colossal hangover because the books are so full of errors and alterations

Yes and they leaked the same amount of oil as an m20 and vibrated about the same.
