At the conclusion of “The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans,” Holmes goes to Windsor and gets a fine emerald tie-pin from “a certain gracious lady” for services to the Realm. This is commonly understood as a reference to Her Majesty.

X2473

Oddly, the only word used in the entire Canon that begins with ‘x’ is x itself.

From The Greek Interpreter,
Mycroft picked up the Daily News, which was lying on the side-table.

"'Anybody supplying any information to the whereabouts of a Greek gentleman named Paul Kratides, from Athens, who is unable to speak English, will be rewarded. A similar reward paid to any one giving information about a Greek lady whose first name is Sophy. X 2473.' That was in all the dailies. No answer."
I suppose the X 2473 is an anonymous reply service either provided by the newspaper or well-known enough at the time to be understood in context.
