RAF 1941 patt. Mae West floatation lamp

Code: MW20371

Stores reference 5C/2728.  The correct 2-piece 'torch' for the 1941 pattern Mae West.  The cylindrical metal battery container has virtually all of the original deep blue paint finish in excellent order bar minor chipping and a dent.  It has clear King's crown Air Ministry and reference marks. The wooden floating section is equally good and retains both bulb and clear domed cover.  As usual the wiring is rather stiff and the rubber sheathing has hardened, is cracking and there is relatively minor loss.  The torch comes in the original issue waxed paper and box (unmarked).  Good '+' overall condition.  Stock code MW20371.
