INERT DEACTIVATED. RARE, WW2, SOE & Reserve Units Switch, No. 9, "L" Delay, Mk. I Time Pencil in Original Tin. Sn 23569:3 - 23569:3
This delay switch was developed by MD1 in February 1940 and was in full production from October of 1940. It is based on the fact that Tellurium lead under load, will stretch uniformly and eventually break. The switch is housed in a tubular body made either of brass or steel. The lead rod is turned down to form a small dumbbell shaped element that is then pegged at its upper end into a brass collar. An adapter or spring clip with percussion cap or 1.7 grain detonator is crimped into the extreme bottom of the body tube. The starting pin fits through the body and striker collar preventing movement of the collar and thus relieves any tension being put on the lead element. A small clip on the end of the starting pin prevents it from falling out accidentally. A small plastic tab on the starting pin gives the delay time of the switch. When the starting pin is removed, tension is transferred to the lead element. The lead begins to stretch and will eventually break releasing the striker to hit the cap to ignite a fuse or fire the detonator. The switches were issued with a number of different delays. The delay times were varied by the diameter of the centre portion of the lead element. Delays were 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours and 3, 7, 14, and 28 days, measured at a temperature of 65 degrees. This is an original WW2 time pencil with the original copper safety pin. The pencil is contained in an original black japanned with green paint round the middle, 2 piece tin plated container which originally contained 5 time fuzes.

INERT DEACTIVATED. RARE, WW2, SOE & Reserve Units Booby Trap Number 2 Mark 1 Pressure Switch. Sn 23569:1 - 23569:1
This is a British, WW2, Special Operations Executive Switch, No 2, Pressure, Mk 1 booby trap switch used a time pencil secured by a knurled nut. Booby trap mechanisms were developed by ‘Experimental Station 6’ which was a cover name for the SOE (Special Operations Executive) production facilities. The SOE ordered large numbers of switches through the British Security Coordination in the U.S. resulting in the America OSS adopting several British switches & developing others for their own use from British switches. This No.2 Pressure Switch, Mark 1 was designed by Millis Jefferies. The very complete switch consists of an alloy body with a brass screw section & brass internals. There are three fixing plate pre drilled holes in the body. The switch has a screwed nut for securing the primer pencil. The pressure plunger is retained to the body by a steel clip and the detonator plunger safety pin is present. The switch retains most if its original green painted finish, original safety pins with the cord and the fuze holder.

INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a mint, unfired and complete WW2, British, No 199 Mk IV fuze for the British 3.7 inch anti-aircraft which was the standard heavy anti-aircraft gun used from 1938 throughout WW2.

DEACTIVATED INERT. British, 1965 Dated, Seacat Naval Anti Aircraft Missile Proximity Fuze. - O 2246
DEACTIVATED INERT. Seacat was a British short-range surface-to-air missile system designed by Short Brothers of Belfast from the Malkara anti tank missile and was intended to replace the Bofors 40/L60 gun aboard warships of all sizes. It was the world’s first operational shipboard point defence missile system. The missile was designed so that the Bofors guns could be replaced with minimum modification to vessel, using existing fire control systems. Seacat traces its history ultimately to the Short Brothers of Belfast SX-A5 experiments to convert the Malkara anti-tank missile to radio control as a short range surface-to-air missile. This led to further modifications as the Green Light prototype and finally emerged as Seacat. As it was based on an anti-tank weapon, the Seacat was small and flew at relatively slow subsonic speeds. It was thought to be useful against first and second generation 1950s jet aircraft of Hawker Sea Hawk performance, that were proving to be too difficult for the WW2 era Bofors 40/L60 guns to successfully intercept. The missiles development started in 1958 and was first fitted to a Royal Navy ship in 1961, it being the first anti aircraft missile in use by the Royal Navy. The missile was fitted with a proximity fuze and this is one of the proximity fuzes fitted to the missile. Seacat was mounted on a powered four-round launcher which was smaller than the Mark 5 Twin Bofors and STAAG type mountings it replaced. It was also lighter, easier to maintain, and very easy to use. The fuze is mounted on a round plinth and measures 7 ½ inch square with rounded corners and 8 inches high, tapering to the top forming a rounded dome with a perspex shield for the proximity fuze. The white painted fuze is stencilled on the side FUZE G.M.E.K 11A1 SER No 1476R J.S.No 1336-99-1041-5983 G.C.L. NOV. /65. The price includes UK delivery and licence is required to possess this fuze in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. O 2246
