Gentlemen! You are bang on! It is a 6A/1512 and appears to be from 1944 or there abouts and looks to be standard on just about everything!
Alan,
That is a great website!
Cheers!

After poking around online I think it is a Mk.XII altimeter, Ref 6A/1512 (according to other posts on here in the past it may also have been used on later Mk.s which had different faces on them). See the following link http://www.gbairspares.co.uk/reference/bfp.htm and click on the
The photo I found shows it is rated to 4~000ft, the hundred foot needle is covering the second digit.

Looks Like early UK Jet Fighter Alt.
Hi Gary,
It looks like a mk 19 -ish Altimeter used on Hunters -Sea-Hawks and probably most of UK’s early -Mid 50’s RAF and NAVY Fighter Jets.
There should be a Sect /Ref No Stamped on the front Face plate, something Like :-
eg:- 6B / 3156 ( that will be a Mk.20C (P )though )
post that up here and it will be absolutely identified with several types of Fighter. 😀
