Minesweeper Maker?

[SwordFish]

I had acquired this one from a fellow member some time back. It resembles an AS but from my understanding its not. I've seen some other examples of this one out there but havn't nailed a manufacturer. Also posted on GMIC but not a whole lot of responses.

Any idea on maker?

100% original and most people call them "unmarked AS" but when you've actually compared them it's obvious that the thickness of the badges and the reverse profiles are different. Personally I do not definitively know who the maker was, however you could probably restrict it to the limited list of makers known to have used the ball-turret hinges.

Thanks for the comments fellas. I had also posted this at GMI. Gordon replied and names it as a likely AS piece with minor variances. Otherwise, if not, then I guess it'll remain a piece from an unknown maker.

This photo is court. of GW. It hilights the similiarities between the AS and this piece.
