An ingenious/innocent looking piece of personal field kit. Un-screw the base to reveal a concealed miniature compass. Excellent condition, being very late war dated and as such probably un-issued/un-used. Brush is I believe badger hair with the body made of brown Bakelite. Compass is in working condition. A whole range of items (to include concealed weapons) was produced by MI9 to aid escaping servicemen and also agents working behind
Intended for concealment within other ‘every-day’ items. This small compass was used/concealed with fountain pens, the bowl of a pipe and if I’m not mistaken the lighter produced by MI9. Compass is in excellent damage free, working condition. A minor ‘work of art’, and now a rare item!
A very good (working) condition double glass sided miniature compass as used by American air-crew members. Good working order, if now a little slow. Glass faces with some scratching, as picked up over past years.
A very clean, used example of padded RAF pilot brevet. Moth and damage free, but now a little grubby due to use. Reverse with heavy canvas backing.
A superb example of a WW2 RO (Radio Observer) half brevet. Moth & damage free, very clean condition. Not a popular Brevet with RAF crews. German Intelligence were particularly interested in captured RO officers for their Radar knowledge.
A very nice, typical of the period, autograph album and associated items, amassed by a WAAF. The autograph album, carries signatures poems and drawings of people obviously close to the WAAF. Included also portrait photographs of herself and her ‘sweetheart’ along with a ‘Confirmation, illuminated card’. Nice small group of attributable items.
A magnificent example of an RAF pre 1953 full dress bullion wire pilot brevet. Bullion wire is bright and undamaged. RAF backing in matching damage and moth free condition. Multi colour wire and detail making this a very attractive looking brevet. Backed with heavy duty canvas cotton.
A very good condition Type 20/21 microphone, with much original black paint finish, and all front detail in white hi-light. Switch in good working order. Interior with a now age hardened and shrivelled rubber ‘dounut’ (see images). The Type 21 replaced the Type 19 in October 1940, so an early microphone just post Battle of Britain.
A very good, un-opened personal First Aid kit as carried by Royal Navy aviators. Smaller in size and content than the RAF/AM equivalent, but effectively serving the same purpose, and primarily used in conjunction with burn injuries. The canvas cover is a little grubby but is undamaged. My experience of these pouches is that the medicines contained are degenerated/evaporated. That said this is a display item only and
A fine pair of issued RAF/AM P.T. shorts in mid blue, heavy cotton. Issued to all ranks, and probably more importantly sent to POW camps and worn extensively as a casual summer wear by POW’s. Issue marked and with a service number (see images). Not a common item !
A very clean, pin back example of an RAF pilot brevet. Good clear crisp detail to the thread work. Moth and damage free condition. A very nice looking brevet with a couple of nice maker variation details.
A used, with evidence of wear, flat RAF pilot brevet. Examples of this type, are very often taken from tunics that have been worn ‘in th air’....harness damage/wear to the thread detail. A super item with much character.
