On offer is an exceptionally rare and original WW2 (World War Two) Home Guard Stirrup Water Pump, dated 1941 and marked with the George VI royal cipher. These pumps were a vital part of Britain’s civil defense arsenal during the Second World War, specifically issued to the Home Guard and auxiliary fire services for quickly extinguishing incendiary and small artillery fires caused by bombings.

This piece is a classic example of wartime ingenuity and utility, constructed from brass and iron with its original black rubber sleeve handle still intact. The stirrup pump design allowed for manual operation by one or two individuals, drawing water from any available source to fight fires—an essential tool during the Blitz and throughout the war years.

Remarkably, this pump is in near-mint condition, an extremely rare find considering its age and intended use. All components, including the brass fittings, iron frame, and rubber sleeve, are well-preserved with minimal signs of wear. The George VI mark and 1941 date stamp remain crisp and legible, further confirming its authenticity and historical value.
