And some more pictures.
The only numbers are a stamped 39 on the outside of the tone ring and the inside of the skirt.
The pot diameter is 10" 15/16ths to the outside of the skirt.

The pot and reso is most likely British. I have just completed a repair on a Jedson (made by Dallas) tenor with the identical flange and reso attachments , although the tone ring and tension band is different. The tailpiece is a USA made 'Presto' It is not the make of the banjo.

Thanks Wayne. I've seen those Jedson Slingerland copies with similar flanges. It's the tone ring and skirt that make me think this is different. Also the Jedson I saw had the same size holes in the flange but it was flimsy, thin metal, and quite sharp. This one is more robust.

The tailpiece was the reason I bought it TBH. I've sold those before.

I don't think the rim is UK made. The hardware looks American. Might be an idea to look at the thread size on the hooks.

So I've been digging and I found this patent which looks right.
I've also seen images of Majestic tenor rims with this format of tone ring which are stamped with the same type of numbering. Though mine isn't stamped with the patent date or number.
To those of you who have worked on Puntolillo pots, does this look right?

Thanks Steve,

You can see the conclusion I'm arriving at above. I'm not sure how to assess thread sizes - but it looks and feels US to me. 

I'm selling on as parts as it had such a poor home made neck (better than I could make, but you know what I mean!)

It'd make a cracking tenor or open back conversion I think.
