Sorry to bring this one back from the Rue Morgue. Question related to Rogarn wall plaques…

There is a similar 166 squadron plaque mentioned being sold in 2017 but it helpfully gives description and sizes of 27 x 22cm.

I was checking this as I just received an RAF plaque signed Rogarn with same dimensions and description – but this one is an RAF Eagle/Per Ardua/kings crown with Royal Air Force in the scroll at the bottom.

Searching eventually found a mention to a Rogarn garden statuary factory in Worcester Park London in 1964  run by a Jimmie Organ ( ties in with Rogarn Worcester Park shown below) – searching deeper we find an Orlando J Organ as a bronze moulder living in Sutton and Cheam. I assume the same

So I assume that Rogarn was a cast metal factory  run by Mr. Organ who made garden furniture /decorations etc and also made wall plaques for the services  and for decoration from the 40’s onwards. He was born in 1899.

For example this one dated also to 40’s:

Just for interest…
