The most common being the K Type with provision for sails and mast to the least common – which is the lightweight version which was essentially just a simple dinghy and not much else. Then there’s the type that could accommodate an apron … etc. What have you got? Is it dated – or could it be a post war version?
Graham – would you agree that while it is the general rule that anything with an AM crown must have been produced prior to 1944, many contract manufacturers continued to use pre made parts (that already had an AM crown) well into the 50’s. It’s a bit like the Kings crown / Queens crown rule – the Kings crown officially being dropped in 1952 – but still appearing for years after on certain items (I’ve also seen wartime dated items with a Queens crown!)
Well, if the disc is not from a light or lamp of some sort – then the miscellaneous section of 5A seems to be mainly amp meters and volt meters – if that helps at all?
The round thing looks like the surround bit from a runway light – anything with 5A is listed in AP1086 as ‘ground lighting and miscellaneous equipment’.
