Original Item: Unissued lighthouse type cylindrical cockpit lamps. Fully marked “A.M.” (Air Ministry) and Crown, “Ref. No. 5c/366 COCKPIT LAMP Mk2”.
This later version has a brass rotating light cover over red lens, and instead of a knurled knob on the end, the top is flat with the entire edge being knurled. This made it much easier to aim and use with gloved hands. The base is hinged to allow manipulation of light beam, black non-reflective finish (easily removed on a polishing wheel if desired).
Only 5″ in total height, no bulb included. A marvelous WWII item in unissued condition.
Comes complete in original cardboard box and brown wax paper!
