Rooney or Vulfix?

The handle shape looks exactly the same as my Rooney 1/2. Block lettering and knot shape are the same too. Mine was stamped Genuine Silvertip Sterilised Made in England although this has since worn off. I’ve never owned a Vulfix so I can comment on that. looks like you got a lovely looking brush there whoever made it.
 
Can generally tell by the lettering, if the printing is fine quality then it's Rooney, if it's poor and begins wearing off within a month then it's Vulfix. Likewise with the knot, if dense and firm with soft tips it's a Rooney, if sparse, floppy and scratchy it's a Vulfix.
 
I emailed TOBS and got this response:

Dear Sir,



This brush looks to be over 10 years old and therefore without a close examination of this brush we can be sure of its full complete origins.





Kindest regards,
