Original WWII "Gibson Girl" survival radio set, in remarkable condition. One of the most complete ever encountered, missing only the second balloon box to be entirely whole.
Complete contents:
Original waterproof bag with protective felts
Gibson Girl radio with carrying strap
Main and spare antennas
Original functional lamp with dynamo
Morse code key
Antenna lifting kite
Sealed box with original balloon
Two hydrogen gas generator canisters
Connection tubes for inflation
Original retaining chocks
Original parachute in storage bag (slight tear)
Authentic WWII condition with superb preservation. The dynamo works and properly powers the indicator lamp. Accessories extremely difficult to assemble today.
Sold as a collector's item with no guarantee of operation on original frequencies. Exceptional piece for a militaria collection, museum, exhibition, air-sea rescue diorama, display case, or historical reenactment.
Rare opportunity to acquire an almost complete Gibson Girl set with original accessories.
