Congratulations on finding that Model 7 Ian. I would say it's the rarest Model 7 in the survey being made just 3 months after the introduction of the model. I would rank it quite close to a 22-range DC Avometer (Model 6) for rarity and historical importance.

The condition is absolutely wonderful and it makes this meter a very valuable historical record.

How did you mange to find it? It almost possible to believe that it found you! It's very good to know that it did, as it could easily have suffered the fate of so many "Ugly black electrical things" as the Avo-philistinic might think. (I have the late SPCh very much in mind here).
