Intriguing Smiths...prototype?
I've been watching this for a while and failed to win it tonight:

Initially I thought it was just a later bit of fakery, but the more I looked at it the more convincing it looked, sharing a case with a similar vintage Benson, for example. Certainly it's a specification Smiths would have been interested in.
I ended up interested enough to bid sixty odd quid on what might well have been scrap or an unrelated case and back, but the more I looked, the more credible it seemed. Clearly someone else agreed because I didn't win it.
What do you lot think?
