Lampa sygnalizacyjna Morse'a z kanadyjskiego okrętu wojennego 1943—
€252.87
You are presented with a unique, authentic relic of war history – an original signaling lamp for transmitting signals in Morse code, originating from a Canadian warship from 1943. This extraordinary item is a testament to the communication technology of the World War II period, used on naval vessels of the Navy.
The lamp was manufactured in 1943, at the peak of the Battle of the Atlantic, when efficient information transfer between convoy ships was crucial for crew safety and mission success. The lamp's construction, most likely made of brass and steel, is characterized by the sturdiness and functionality typical of marine equipment. It features a characteristic shielded reflector, enabling the direction of the light beam, and a mechanism (lever or flasher) for manually transmitting short and long signals (dots and dashes) according to Morse code. The housing may show traces of patina, operational wear, and possibly manufacturer markings, inventory number, or Royal Canadian Navy symbols.
As a collectible item, the lamp holds immense historical and museum value. It is an ideal, rare acquisition for military collectors, especially those focused on naval warfare, the history of World War II, and communication technology. It will make an excellent centerpiece for an exhibition dedicated to war at sea, the Canadian war effort, or the history of communications. Its authenticity and provenance give it a unique character and high collectible value.
