Original WW2 RAF External Wiring Loom + Type 32 Receivers + Microphone

SOLD

Code: 54104

Website: https://www.militariazone.com/flying-helmets/original-ww2-raf-external-wiring-loom-type-32-receivers-microphone/itm40463

A scarce original RAF external wiring loom fitted with a pair of original Type 32 receivers, bell plug and type 48 microphone. 

The loom itself is a light tan coloured Q type external loom as usually used with the B type, early C type and D type helmets. It is in good condition with signs of wear and use as shown in the pictures.

Standard RAF receivers are fitted and bear the stores code 10A/13466 as well as the Air Ministry AM and crown marking. They are also in good condition and appear to be complete but do have some superficial marks and scoring to the exterior. 

A type 48 microphone is fitted to the loom which is in average condition with signs of use and age. The rubber dust cover is no longer present and there are some chips to the plastic mouthpiece. 

Finally is the bell plug which is again in used condition. Part of the bakelite cover is broken and missing and the spring section which sits above this is rusted and in poor condition. 

Whilst the bell plug and the microphone aren't in the best shape they could be changed. This is still a hard to find early loom and is complete making it a good potential addition to a flying helmet display.
