A WW2 brass “thunderer” trench whistle made by S.S.D. Bros Aligarh 1942.

Aligarh in India had been a hub for metal working in brass, iron and aluminium for many centuries. It is no surprise then that the name of this city appears on many metal objects produced for the Indian Army.

Other metal goods known to have been produced by the factories of Aligarh for the military include barrel type whistles, bugles, padlocks and cap badges. Even today the city has many different small metal working factories producing a range of small consumer goods.

Condition:  Good condition - see photo. Untested but should work fine.

I am very happy to combine items for cheaper postage. Please wait for my invoice if you buy multiple lots.
