Hello all, I wonder if anyone can help me I D the manufacturer of a shutter I have. The best clue is the maker's trade mark, an anchor with W K stamped on it. I have attached some photos any help would be appreciated.

Thanks very much Jose for your time and information.
Rare shutter. The writing on the selector means Kenngott made it for the British market.
T/I - Time/Instant.
For the French it would be P/I - Pose/Instantané
For the German Z/M - Zeit/Moment
Thanks very much Scott, that's very helpful. I couldn't find any info on the WK trademark. Probably because I only looked for a British maker. Thanks again, All the best Gerry.
Hello,
The WK with anchor symbol belonged to the Wilhelm Kengott company, a Paris manufacturer of lenses and shutters. W. Kengott invented the Koilos shutter. A brief bio. on the Web: http://www.collection-appareils.fr/x/html/historique_eng.php?marque...
