WW1 Period Issue Royal Flying Corps Altimeter

A rare large hand held example, with War Department stamp of the pattern I believe were issued to Observation Ballon Observers. The silvered face with makers details of “T W S I “ (Thomas Watson Scientific Instruments Ltd) also with the number “B6707” The gilt case with clear WD Arrow.

Altimeter / Barometers were issued to the Royal Flying Corps, due to the large size I would be easier to handle with bulky gloves.VGC.
