No relation to me, just might be a good one for a decent price.

Looks like a good machine at a very reasonable price.

Is that "CVA" cast into headstock cover?

If yer lookin' for "CSA", Lodge won't be your source...
Ye'll have to take a cone-head, and maybe even an Iron-bound wooden bed...
Charred, at that.
Damnyankees!

I had done. Stylized CVA. Close a match as can be had to this one:

That's how I knew it wasn't Confederate Air Force property!
Now. As to why an L&S had CVA logotye on it? Look further down to this one:

Note the label:
Built for Kearney & Trecker-CVA limited.
And on a lathe with a fair amount of Monarch 10EE genetics in its Levi's, yet.
Was there a similar deal with a "Lodge & Shipley-CVA Limited"?
And if so, before or after Monarch's ownership of DS&G. And its ownership of Lodge & Shipley?
All these machine-tool companies marrying each other's sisters, or what?
This cannot be "casual" stuff, "fewsies" casting patterns for vanity. There had to be contracts, probably service and spares more than sales. Assembly and/or major component build easily as likely.
UK Law and US Law are too closely connected. Trust me on that one. All the years at C&W, mostly in NYC and Metro DC HQ, reviewing, revising, approving contracts, training-up English legal staff, seconded to the USA?
My contacts sat at 100 New Bridge Street, London. And Baker-Mac is a Chicago HQ'ed law firm.
Machine-tool builders have been "going international" for over a hundred and fifty years.

the l&s "Bluechip" was made in england... wasn't the AVS too?
The following was copied from Lathes.co.uk:
"So successful was the Powerturn that another American company, Kearney & Trecker, who had an established a presence in the UK building their well-known milling machines and the superb CVA precision lathe, acquired the rights for its manufacture in England."
