Looks like a standard right hand Espag handle.
You just need to check the spindle length. Open the handle, take out the screw and measure the spindle.
Then just order a right hand handle with the right length spindle http://www.handlestore.com/category/espag-window-handles/0/
You can get them on ebay or Screwfix of Wicks. Most hardware places have them

I have never seen those before!
Hopefully one of the other guys will come along with an a name for them. Failing that try emailing the pic to these guys http://www.northwesthardware.co.uk/contact.php?jssCart=b46022071f3aba269f43818aa6a54ca7
I would possibly try to swap the spindles over but they can sometimes be really well jammed in there.

Bummer. As I said it may be worth trying to swap the spindles over.
They can be stuck in there really well so practice on the new handle 1st. Your probably going to need a Vice, Mole grips, Pliers and possibly a blow torch to get them out.
Or you could try taking the handles to a local metal working place. They may be able to swap the spindles or cut and weld the old spindle onto the new handle or bend the new spindle as needed.

Resurrecting this one.
Been in touch with loads of handle people and they have never seen anything like this which is a bit of a bum. the only thing that I can think of is that the spindle has somehow been twisted/bent.
I still am not able to pull the spindle out but I have tried another handle with a straight spindle and it doesn't appear to catch onto anything.
For now I appear to have two options, buy another window (which I would rather not do) or replace the handle somehow. I have seen these cockspur handles which may do the job but my concern is the fixings into the window, from what I can gather, these are pretty knackered on mine but is there some way of securing these handles (bigger screw maybe - but then again its the hole in the handle itself that I have to match.
Do these cockspur ones come in different sizes? How would I be able to get the right size? (measure the distance between the two hole centers?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated on this one.
