Tom,

if you look at the picture of SELSY on p105 of "Leica Accesory guide" 2nd 
Edn - 
Hove books there is a photo showing a mounting bracket for the flash unit. 
It 
looks very much like your l1.jpg. I presume that the millisecond delay 
(which is 
what the slider on the bracket would switch between) would be on the SELSY 
unit 
itself (though for a IIIc the unit would be a SELIS). Otherwise it must have 
become detached from the flash. Date Late forties to early fifties, New York.
