Is there any writing on the inside rim of the bakelite bulb-holder? This can sometimes reveal at least a country of origin, and occasionally a manufacturer.

Thought it might be by NSC, but wasn't sure.

There's a good chance the glass was made for them by Holmegaard (or, conversely, that it was a Holmegaard lamp for which Nordisk provided the fittings - but I don't recognise the design from the Holmegaard catalogues). The green colour is a good match for Holmegaard glass.

The plug is from LEGRAND, I guess it's not the original...

Probably not a huge amount more - I had a glass NSC lamp that took me ages to sell, and in the end I only got £50.
