M25 tank valve replacement

Aberdeen watersports have 4 makes of M25 valves in stock.
www.aberdeenwatersports.com

Any identifying marks on the valve, or picture to identify the make of
valve, rather than just the base thread to identify the valve manufacture.

I think the aqualung / spiro is a stamp on cylinders identifying a batch of
cylinders bought and sold by spiro, rather than manufactured by them, so
identifying the valve would not be easy by simply the cylinder make and
thread size

You could try the UKRS Links page:
http://www.ukrecscuba.org.uk/links/links03.html

I would have thought that the best place to start would be somewhere like
Divers Warehouse: www.diverswarehouse.co.uk or Kent Diving:
www.kentdiving.co.uk

I assume you know that European valves do not have burst disks and therefore
(I believe) run foul of the US DOT regulations. In other words, you may have
problems getting fills.
