Greetings, does anyone know what make of manual windlass this is ? It's similar to a Sea tiger 555 but has the letters "GD" on the side. Thanks .

I think the GD means Gypsy Drum and is not a clue for the maker.

Perhaps though it seems obvious that's a drum. The chain wheel comes off but the drum is permanently attached so there's no mistaking which goes where.
