Is this a real HMV??

Hi
It's been a long time since I've been on this site....good to be back.
I was given a couple of players from a friend and the photos shows one of them.
I'm not sure what I have with this one or whether it is "real" or a repro.
The tone arm mount leaves a lot to be desired which leads me to think it is a cheap repro.
The motor looks good....seems to be a dual spring system....nice and sturdy.
There are no "markings" on the motor and I don't have a crank handle.
It would be great to know what I have!!
Cheers
