Mills 36 lever - Maker?

[Millsman]

Came across this the other day. A WW2 or after lever marked PRECA or possibly P.RECA

Not one I've seen before. Indian?

PRE CA Edit - sorry already been ID'd.

Had a single contract for 50,000 in August 1940 - another of the post Dunkirk panic contracts.

Thanks Tom

I wonder if it fits on a 36 I have which has P on the front face and a 1940 plug with no makers name on it?

That's quite a leap from bottle tops to casting grenades!
