Can you identify the hallmarks on this pocket bottle? Is it British made?

Here’s a very useful site to look up hallmarks you are not familiar with:

Thank you for quick answer. Now I know the maker, but what does the “g” at the end mean. And the numbers and the letter A on the right side. On the left side (out of the frame) it says 13,5 oz.

“g” - 1924. Sheffield Dates - G
13.5 ounces (oz) is approximately 382.7 grams (weight) or about 400 ml (fluid, at 13.5 fl oz). It is a unit of weight/volume used primarily in the US, equal to 0.84 pounds.

As I had said, Sheffield 1924. That deals with the Crown mark (Sheffield) and the lower case g (year assayed). The rest of the markings deal with capacity — meaning how much liquor the flask might hold. I cannot see the”A” you refer to in your photos. But if it’s put there by the manufacturer then it’s origin or quality or both and if by the owner it’s identification.
