Sturmey Archer Hub ?

I bought a rusty but original 1924 Gazelle with a 3-speed (?) hub, the bicycle comes from a barn and nobody messed with it.

It has been an expensive type 7 or 9 with ball-bearings in the bracket and fully lugged backforks.

 

I cleaned the hub-shell as good as possible with a copper-brush and looked very closely, but the only text I can find on it is; "oil freely" or something.

 

Who can tell me what hub this is, I made 5 pictures of it, is it a S.A., I couldn't find a similar on the the S.A. heritage website....
