The aerial mount is unique to Mk.1 carriers sporting a 19 set. The aerial base is a standard No.9 that takes a 'G' aerial section. 'G' sections are an 18" long piece of 1/4" diameter copper rod with a No.10 screw sweated into the base. The screw is a British thread so be warned. The No.9 base has a rubber tip that can be hard to find. The last remnant is the brush guard. There's not a lot of originals of these around but I made up a drawing of one if you wanted to try your hand at a reproduction.
