This is an interesting camera !
A 111c 'stepper' with non-standard flash socket and the film winder knob from a 1f, 11f or 111f.
Somebody wanted to ''personalise'' it, I suppose. Pity...

Now that you say it, I missed the step. 373xxx probably makes it a 1941/1942 camera.
Mike, would this have red curtains by any chance? Or is it on sale online anywhere?
Seems the vulcanite isn't original either, it looks too smooth. But, this can also be the result of a low-res jpeg... Plus there's something funny going on with the accessory shoe as well. That looks particularly off!

Does it function. The flash contact could be removed and was that installed correctly. Might be worth letting a repair person look at. Good Luck. Joe

apparently it is fully fuctional, with black shutter curtains, I was tempted at first, especially if I could get it for less than £250 but if it is cobbled together from a IIIc and a IIIf, Im not so sure if I want it

Hi,
At that sort of price level you'd get one with a guarantee from a dealer. Plus you could ask them questions and get an answer from someone who knows.
Regards, David
PS Have a look here, I've no complaints about them, which is more that I can say about some London dealers:
