Army & Navy Co-Operative Stores Ltd (sometimes 'Army & Navy CSL") was a big department store in Victoria Street in central London, with a big mail order catalogue much relied on by the officer class in British Empire days, and other stores elsewhere in the UK. Of course, they included guns etc in their catalogue and many of them were sold under the Army & Navy brand but really made by e.g Webley or W.C Scott to name just two in Birmingham. For any Americans reading this, think Sears Roebuck.

Their last store was in The Strand in central London. I remember watching it burn down in the mid 1980s as it was just down the road from the office where I worked at the time. They disappeared more or less completely after that. No guns at that time of course!
