I had a new switch like yours and realised that the original Lucas switch would have had a complete brass contact arc as described above. The new ones from 'Lucas' (all part of the Wassells empire I believe) doesn't, and it's likely they have two separate, round contacts moulded in, with a non-contact area between.
I returned mine to the supplier as not fit for purpose, indeed dangerous, and got a full refund and I would strongly suggest Martin does the same.
As I've banged on about this many times, we used to put up with Wassell's extremely poor quality back in the 60's and 70's, but we don't have to now. They should be very ashamed that they are selling safety critical components such as switches that are clearly sub standard.
