Hi Daryl, Birmingham Private VM started in 1921 with the Code "A" for 1921-1922 ending in 1941-1942 with Code "W". Codes "I", "Q" and "Z" were not used.

They started again in 1950. There are so many codes it would be difficult to list here, but in the case of the years 1950 on it was a two digit code for each year, for example "AB" 1950, YB for 1973. Just a couple of examples.

London Private VM started in 1972. An example would be LP over 98 for 1998.

Hope this helps.

All the best!
