Re: unidentified underpinner
It looks like a Pistorius.
I know zip about them,though have read that they are the underpinning equivalent of a morso(buildwise).
All the best

Re: unidentified underpinner
Yes, that is a Pistorious. They were built to last and said to be indestructible, as time has proven.
I had a good look at one some time ago. They are completely over engineered and there's not much on them to go wrong.
When offered for sale, they are usually possible to purchase for peanuts.
Probably no spares available, but as long as the hammer is good, this should not be a problem.
