Is this a B (1980) kettle?

Hi, can anyone help me out determining the age of my new kettle? It has a flipped B on the top damper. It has a metal handle at the side and a wooden handle at the top:

Looks like an '80 to me. We've seen that flipped B before. Does the top handle have double rivets or a single screw? It looks to be in fantastic shape, maybe never/rarely used!

The wooden handle has 2 screws...

edit: like your avatar! :)

It looks like a complete fake to me... you'd better send it on over and I'll dispose of it properly.  ;-)

When I die I will be cremated and my ashes stored in my Blue GA, sorry. (Although I think I will need to make sure you don't find out where it will then be stored  ;) ).

Yeah I know I won't be able to pry yours away from you Ken
But I'll work on Golly for his
I might just have to settle for the grey GA that's on Gumtree
Unless you've already made contact with the seller
Edit- ya beat me again :'(
