It looks like a fake cobbled together out of old parts from various models. The tonearm and sound box are circa late 1920s/early 1930s. The horns, if they are polished originals and not reproductions, are from a much earlier period. The case looks like a modified version of the one used for the HMV 32 style gramophone, which IS real, dating from the late 1920s --->

Note, that it has a SINGLE horn and the tonearm is positioned on the right side of the cabinet, with the horn on the left. The Gramophone Co. did not make a double-outside-horn gramophone that I'm aware of. The HMV 32 was designed to offer improved reproduction of the electrically recorded records, which were introduced in 1925. It was the last type of outside horn gramophone sold by The Gramophone Co.
