Original Items: One Set Only. This really is something that seldom comes up as complete as this is. High quality rich Brown leather Sam Browne Belt assembly complete with cross strap, with dedicated pocket for whistle. The whistle is present permanently attached to a leather strap and housed in its own tubular pocket. The whistle is marked:- THE CITY POLICE OR FIRE WHISTLE / PATENT. The Set is completed with its matching brown leather binocular case with unreadable maker’s name on the under side, which contains a period pair of leather covered Field Glasses. The field glasses are in excellent condition, with clear optics and smooth focus.
This is Almost certainly a “Private Purchase” set for some young Lieutenant starting out in the Trenches, his whistle at the ready for signalling his troops to follow him “OVER THE TOP”. Absolute madness.
A very fine set showing some use, ready to display.
