HISTORY:
Sustainability is the name of the game! Anything (that has been tested and still functioning properly) should be repurposed creating saving in wasted Ee and reducing the poisoning our environment when items are buried in the earth at the local tip needlessly.
Never heard of Ee? It is a concept that creates a measurement of ALL things (not just electronics) that humans have made and the energy used in obtaining the raw material, processing the materials right through to a finished product and even should include the shipping of the item to the distributors/retailers.

This component has been removed from working (but obsolete) specialised radio test equipment from United Kingdom made by a very well known commercial and military communications systems supplier.
As you would expect in broadcast equipment, the component is of a very high build quality although I cannot match the identification stampings to a known manufacturer of this component.
UNIDENTIFIED MANUFACTURER - BNC Connector
Stamped into the body:
28 JR106-1
S symbol within a triangle graphic which has 'rounded corners' if that makes sense!
I have been unable to identify this company logo but based on the original equipment the connector was removed from, they were staunchly users of UK manufactured products or worse case, European - NEVER Asia.
Female
Panel mounting
Supplied with washer and nut
SILVER PLATED Nickel body
There are two solder pins at the rear, one is the hot pin (centre) and the other Ground return or shield AND the ground return pin is totally isolated from the front metalware, meaning that this socket can have signal input or output which is floating which respect to the equipment ground.
Flat spot on one side at the rear threaded section, so the connector cannot rotate once mounted
Rear section requires a 12.5mm hole, with flat spot
Solder pin termination
COSMETIC CONDITION:
In excellent condition
CLEAN and untarnished (Silver plating goes a brownish colour over time due to reaction with the atmosphere)
Rear pins have been substantially cleaned of previous solder - ready to take new connections
