Well in fairness to the seller he did put in the question mark "military radio antenna WW2 ? " into the title, so in ebay speak he has absolved himself of all knowledge about the product. (not sure if my sarcasm comes off properly in a typed reply).

For cosmetic restoration it's probably OK, and if it wasn't so expensive I'd be tempted to buy it, paint it Light Stone, and insist that the IWM replace the wretched lump of 1" conduit and tinplate that was gracing their Daimler Armoured Car the last time I saw it.

(I suspect the DAC is back in store while they have the WW1 displays running.)

Chris.

Good eye, Chris.

One should see the rubber seams running either side of the base from the two halves of the mold meeting, the ZA and PC numbers in raised letters at the bottom of the base and the last quarter inch or so of the rubber should actually taper outwards to the bottom. This one looks like a perfect cylinder.

Also to my eye. the upper guard ring looks a tad too hefty.

Somebody thought it was worth 130 quid. Like you say ok for cosmetic restoration or until a better one comes along.
