OK IIS people what is this

Hi Folks, I am restoring an old scope circa 1915-30 maybe, can anyone identify the make or offer somewhere to go to find out who made it?
what I know, 105mm diam lens, 1450mm OT,possibly F/15, look forward to some feedback, cheers Graham

ps if anyone has an old mount and tripod that would suit this scope let me know, long bow however you never know unless you ask!!!

pps a couple more images that might help, EP with protective shutter

ppps More images of items that might help, nails from the scope container if it is the original container and the partial label, with some info:

TROUGHTON AND SIMMS
OPTICIANS
ANDMATHEMATICAL INSTRUMENT MAKERS
TO THE
HONOURABLE LORD OF ORDINANCE

the rest is gone unfortunatley,
