WW2 German Navy Kriegsmarine Bosun's Whistle VERY NICE

A boatswain's call, pipe or bosun's whistle is a pipe or a non-diaphragm type whistle used on naval ships by a boatswain. It is pronounced, and sometimes spelled, "bosun's call". The pipe consists of a narrow tube (the gun) which directs air over a metal sphere (the buoy) with a hole in the top.

The player opens and closes the hand over the hole to change the pitch. The rest of the pipe consists of a "keel", a flat piece of metal beneath the gun that holds the call together, and the "shackle", a keyring that connects a long silver or brass chain that sits around the collar, when in ceremonial uniform. Made of brass with a nickle finish, this Kreigsmarine Bosun's Whistle is in AMAZING used condition!

There are no damages or cracks, and is still 100% functional! It does features show some slight wear and marks due to the age, but nothing that detracts. I beleive the lanyard ring is a wartime replacement, as they are usually slightly larger than the one that is currently attached. Brought back by a US veteran who served in WW2, it would make for a PERFECT addition to any collection or display! Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage.

Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft Fw190, Me262, etc. , as well as USAF and Japanese items.

Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. Use is solely based on my authorization only.
