Extremely Rare WW2 SOE No.2 Hand Generator Battery Charger (For B2 Radio)
An exceptional and extremely rare WW2 SOE No.2 Hoover hand generator battery charger that was used in conjunction with the SOE B2 suitcase radio ( both items illustrated in the SOE equipment catalogue), the charger along with its components are housed in its original and correctly marked `F' storage container with original 1944/5 dated webbing harness (last digit partially hidden by the stitching).
The components consist of the excellent condition rubber gripped winding handle and the often missing 2 x clamp assembly, also present is the extremely rare packing list (dated May 1945) with corresponding letter `F' ink stamp and the equally rare instruction leaflet + spare bushes.
The charger has not been tested for output but the gearing sounds sweet and rotates perfectly.
The handle + clamp assembly screws are missing but alternatives could easily be found.
An essential piece of SOE equipment that would have been used during clandestine operations.
The carriage costs for UK customers (UK address) shall be fully refunded upon receipt of the item.
Overseas customers please note that this item will be dispatched via the Royal Mail Parcel Force so please be aware of slightly higher carriage/insurance costs compared to using other courier companies.
