M-283 Signal Lamp

**kleft22** · 11-25-2015 08:01 PM

I was wondering if you guys could help me out with finding information about this signal lamp my father found. He has two of them they both are in really good condition (besides the cords being cut). He told me the year is 1941, but I couldn't find the year on the plates or anywhere on the lamp. Any information about the value, rarity, or anything would be greatly appreciated.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

On the picture of brass nomenclature plate, there is the Order no. Phila 42. So your light was ordered out of the Signal Corps Philadelphia procurement office in 1942.
