Both decorated at the outer rim the Fallschirmjager dish features the Luftwaffe swooping eagle and Swastika with Afrika atop, the other with DAK 1942 and a Palm Tree with Swastika. Interesting variant to the souvenirs produced for the German forces in North Afrika

A very nice example of a British Military Record waterproof mechanical Wristwatch, one of the so called “Dirty Dozen” WWW watches commissioned by the British Ministry of Supply from 1944 onwards. With a 36mm stainless steel case the watch has a very good black dial with the original “train track” sub seconds dial at the 6 o’clock position. The hands are original to the watch and are without loss to the luminous paint although there is slight deterioration to the paint on the markers. The case is very good and shows signs of light use only and is without notable damage, the crystal (glass) having very light scratches as you would expect. The lugs measure 18mm and have fixed bars but a brand new NATO style nylon band is included. The movement runs well and the watch keeps good time. Case back is numbered 534322 whilst one of the strap lugs is numbered 242. This suggests the watch was once serviced by the REME who switched the case back with another watch, a very common and often seen occurrence. A highly collectable timepiece with no issues at the time of sale.

An impressive working example of a “Published” pre war Elliott White Dial RAF Wall Clock, extensively featured on pages 131 – 134 of Bob Gardner’s “A History of Clocks in the RAF”. The Clock works well and keeps good time but as with all these old mechanical clocks I cannot guarantee it and it may well need a service at some time in the future, the last being carried out about seven years ago. Diameter is approximately 460 mm. Overall condition is very good the only points of note being slight deterioration to the dial in the nine O’clock position. The case is in fine condition and heavily stamped with the RAF property stamp, maker’s name and 1928. Of particular interest is the Crown and A.M. at the 12 O’clock position, this being the only example I have seen without either the RAF wings or crest. Even more interesting is the fact this is hand painted, a feature Bob Gardner is happy with. At the bottom half of the dial is the inventory serial number 2504 and No. 1.S.D.K (No1 Stores Depot Kidbrook) 10.12.30. In his book Bob goes on to tell us the Clock has a wartime dark bezel and an undated movement by Elliott, correct for 1928. A beautiful and functional RAF Clock that without doubt saw service into WW11. The Clock is heavy and will be costly to ship so collection from the PO8 area of Hampshire is possible and recommended

This uniform removed example is the still more rare being of BeVo weave construction rather than embroidered thread on a wool backing.
