Anyone recognise the manufacturer of this?
About 25 years ago I bought a prybar (or crowbar, wrecking bar - call it what you will) identical to the one in the photo below. It has been by far and away the best bar of its kind I have ever come across, and I would love to get another.

I think it came from a "Sandfords" DIY store (remember them?) and at the time there was a range of sizes available; foolishly I only bought one, I should have bought one of each!

Does anyone recognise the manufacturer, or has anyone seen one of these recently or know where or if they are still available? The colour sheme has always suggested Bahco/Sandvik to me, but there is nothing remotely similar in their catalogues. theone I have has no manufacturer's markings of any kind.

I know that there are broadly similar things available almost everywhere but I have never found one as light, strong and ergonomic as this one.
