I have an old charge/discharge ammeter which I am trying to identify. It has a nickel bezel of about 2.5 inches around a meter of 2 inches.
The make is Sifam (France) and appears to have a range of only 1 amp either way.but this could simply signify that the battery was half-charged or fully charged
I feel it is from a '20s or '30s car or bike--maybe french? Has anybody any ideas? Manty thanks John on the Wirral

 

a picture is worth a thousand words

 

True--if I could work out how to include a 'photo John on the Wirral

 

You should be able to attach the photo' if you click "go advanced" then click the paperclip.

 

Hopefully,I have managed to upload a 'photo John on the Wirral

 

looking close to the photo of the speedometer, you will see your gauge to the left of the speedometer

Many thanks for your help.I have investigated further and found a perfect picture of my ammeter on the dash of a 1923 Citroen 5CV Type C Torpedo driven by Neville Westwood on the first drive around Australia in 1925
Thanks once again

Good afternoon, I am looking for a SIFAM ammeter like the one you have: should you agree to sell it, kindly let me have your request ( it would have to be shipped to Switzerland). Many thanks and best wishes.
