Very nice lamp as used by navigators in WW2 bombers. Condition is very good with only the slightest of verdigree, would come up even better if you wish to clean it.
WW1 1914 Dated British Union Jack.
Nice dated multi stitched Union Jack, its survived in very good condition but it does have numerous moth nips to the material but nothing that makes the flag fragile and unusable, the material is still strong. The top is clearly marked 1914 and has a London makers mark, the strong hanging lanyard is in very good condition complete with both heavy brass hooks. Its front door size as seen in my picture.

1909 dated quillion 1907 bayonet thats in super condition, the pommel is marked to the Duke of Cornwal Light Infantry and is bayonet number 615 matches the number to the throat of the scabbard.

Rare 1907 Quillion Bayonet, 3rd Welsh Regiment.
Super condition and rare example of the 1907 quillon bayonet, this one is dated 1910 and marked to the pommel top to the 3rd Welsh regiment, the regimental number 751 is one digit down from the number on the scabbard throat. The scabbard has a matching date of 1910. It would be very hard to up grade this bayonet. FOR SALE TO OVER 18's AND UK ONLY.
British SOE Tyre Slasher Type Knife.
Same type as the SOE knife exept for no tyre slasher, i have checked the internet for these examples and they do seem to be sold as such, even one site puts these down as Norweigan issued examples, this one is unmarked as expected. Anyway , condition is good but well used, blade will not lock , no damage to the grips.
