Rare and possibly intended for airborne or tropical use, this is a lightweight version of the British military’s short range daylight signalling lamp. It comes complete with morse code key, canvas case, rubber eye cap and filters. Also included is a 1945 dated restricted publication of the original working instructions, as published by the Signals Research and Development Establishment in Christchurch on the South coast of England.

Lamp 9cm diameter. Signal device 17cm x 16cm x 13cm. Click here to see a video of it working.

Condition: The lamp is in very good original and unrestored condition. The old battery has been removed but the instrument has been tested using an independent battery source (not included) and found to be in good working order. There is a single screw missing from the morse code key. All paint is original and in good condition with only minor scuffs and scratches and some very minor localised surface rust. The rubber eyecap for the sighting tube is intact but quite dry. The canvas case is in good order. Working instructions with creases, fading, stains and foxing.
