Double bass north west specialists? Need help identifying a bass

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone could recommend me a decent DB specialist based in the NW or England, preferably close to Liverpool. I've got a bass that needs a look at plus I'd like to find out a bit more about the bass itself and its history. Cheers all!

Cheers! I might need something a bit more local as I've not got time to get over to Salford from where I live but its certainly worth bearing in mind.

Already spoken to a guy on the forum with the same bass, who was helpful enough but also a bit in the dark about the origins and history of the bass. It's Czech 1/2 size, sold by Selmer London according to the sticker on it. Unusual looking thing in direct comparison to a 3/4, very much a violin-looking upright. I rescued it from a friend's garage for the smallest of fees, I'm probably going to keep it for recording purposes but who knows, maybe I'll let it go once its been looked at. Any info on the background of the instrument would be tremendously appreciated!

And here are the photos, apologies as they are truly terrible.
