Equipment, Lamp, Signal, SE-11, Complete

Genuine WWII US SE-11 Signal Lamp Equipment, issued to Parachute Infantry Regiments (one per Rifle Company on D-Day) as stated in TO/E 7-37.

This type, which was also used by Navy Beach Battalions during the Normandy Campaign, could either be carried as a rifle, thanks to the M-341 gunstock, or mounted on a tripod -- in this case, remote control was possible by linking the M-227 signal lamp to the J-51 manipulator via the CD-701 wire.

The present set retains all accessories: BG-131 carrying case, M-227 lamp, M-341 gunstock, LG-21 tripod, CD-701 wire, M-172 goggles, J-51 manipulator, and spare filter.

Nice homogeneous set, in rather good overall condition.
