Doesn't look like any Far East re-badged import but it doesn't like a Pye product either, looks European.

And yet further examination of the picture reveals it has the chunky look of a Pye. Those thick wires for example.

Hi David,

Yes it appears to be quite a rarity, I don't think think it's of far eastern origin. I shall take some more detailed pictures tomorrow.
