A genuine World War 2 British water stirrup pump. These pumps were a key piece of equipment during the war and especially the Blitz, as used by Home Guard & ARP. The stirrup pump was designed to be used with buckets of water and hand pumped while using a foot rest to hold the pump in place, a second person would use the hose to fight the fire. This is a very nice example, original hose has been coiled using cable ties and displays nicely, pump handle moves freely (untested with water), retains the original pull cord tab and release pin that are typically missing from these pumps.
