Need Help Deciphering Birmingham Silversmith Mark

I have a sterling silver Concorde money clip with the Lion passant sterling designator, the Anchor confirming Birmingham as the city of manufacture and the script "L" which confirms 1985 as the date it was made. HOWEVER, I cannot "decode" the pictorial manufaturer's mark, which appear to be initials within a shield-like shape: TL on the left and DP on the right. Can anyone give me a hand in deciphering this mark? THANKS! Image Image

Hello and welcome to the Forum.
The mark looks like TD LTD which my notes show was registered by Troika Designs Ltd.
