The GIRA label on the back, means it was sold in Belgium and only imported later into the UK. Execution suffix -20 likely matches that. It was probably also made in Belgium; does the serial number start with an L?

I think it's a bargain for 7 quid, especially with the travel case which I've never seen before.
