WW2 ROYAL NAVY BLUE CANVAS LIFE PRESERVER - R.M.COMMANDOS ATTRIBUTED
A rare WW2 life preserver as issued to RM Commandos and in this case it was a direct purchase by me from a WW2 Commandos widow along with his uniform and kit German Kreigsmarine bring backs.
His name and other details are stencilled in white paint to the inside, ( more details to buyer only ).
Inflatable rubber bladder, inside a stout navy blue fabric cover.
A rubber hose with mouthpiece protrudes from the bladder via an opening on the side.
Cotton tape waist and neck straps as well as internal and external belt loops.
A cream canvas waist belt is attached to each end of the bladder.
This one also has a Bulldog clip fitting rescue light.
wired to a seperate" Easco Life Jacket Light " marked battery pack. Red light cover is absent.
C/w a broad blue belt with tan leather rear strips and triple leather covered buckles and straps.
The 3 items came together Estate Fresh and was a genuine Commando issue item.
I think I can safely say, the rubber tube will be a/f and the light will never shine again !
Other than that the condition is V.G.C.
