Thank you for all your constructive replies

The brass bulb holder is a bayonet fitting small size 10mm thread without earthing point into which a threaded steel length has been inserted to screw into the light fitment which is a banker's light with brass shade. All metal parts are clean and in good contact. The lamp came without a plug and there are no signs of an earthing point having been used. There is however a bracket forming part of the lamp in the base which could be used to attach an earth cable.

This is my first attempt at rewiring an old lamp which I intend to keep so once again thank you for your interest
