If so for what ? Barrie, I have a similar one ex-WD in plain brass, your looks like it is plated, could be the photo Going by the stock number on yours, it is from RAF as 1C/ indicates it to be in 'Tools, general' so unlikely to be a medical instrument. They are ideal for drawing of oil from cavities, taking oil samples, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Suslowicz Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Thankfully, it's not a medical item! "Syringe, Oil" and air ministry kit. (Obviously the post-WW2 ones were chromed to keep them nice and shiny.) http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1944-dron-wal-air-ministry-1c-2433-288453147 Shows the complete kit. Chris.

Scurvey Knave Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 We had a couple of these in the servicing bay, one with a ring on the end like yours and another with a knob. I only ever seen them used for topping up steering boxes. The attached picture shows the one with the knob sitting on top of an oil drum (which gives an idea of the scale of the item) - sorry about the quality of the pic, its a very small crop from the corner of a larger image.

challenger Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Looks like a P and O injector used to fill recoil systems on tanks. Still in use on Challenger 2:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
