Thanks to Ian, Dave and Peter for your very helpful and knowledgeable replies. My gut feeling is that the meter has been subject to a severe overload and the pointer bent due to bouncing off the end stop. It's certainly bent in that direction. I will inspect the operation of the mechanical trip. I think Peter (pmmunro) wrote a piece on the operation of the mechanical cutout which I shall read when I locate it.
