A very, very good condition Hudson whistle produced/issued 1918. Standard Hudson marking with good clear date and the subdued ‘anodised’ finish correct to this year of manufacture. This particular whistle is the best of its type I have had to offer. Because of the change in manufacturing material for this year of manufacture ‘it’ was prone to corrosion. This example is corrosion free and with 95% plus

Having ‘survived’ the war certain period items like rations, certain

Reasonably competent art work. Damage free , with some age crazing to the paint work.
Difficult to say if this is ‘British or German’ made. An aluminium formed horse shoe, topped off with the fuse end of a 1916 German artillery shell, manufactured in Magdeburg. Substantial piece of workmanship, suggesting its a ‘heavy workshop’ made item.

Interior with good clear issue marking. One button period replaced. (The VTC in WW1 can loosely be likened too the second war ‘Home Guard’).
