Our authentic replica is made in the UK by the same company, on the actual tooling and machines used in 1944. It is superb quality and almost indistinguishable from the originals. Nowadays, they also serve as a useful dog training aid. Supplied wartime-style cardboard box with certificate of authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the  \u003cstrong\u003ePage link\u003c\/strong\u003e below to view the product page in the Catalogue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ab-boats.co.uk\/nauticalia\/nauticalia29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/ab-boats.co.uk\/nauticalia\/nauticalia29.pdf','Nauticalia Catalogue','resizable,height=1000,width=1000'); return false;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/5560\/files\/Pdf-icon.png\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView this Product in the Nauticalia Catalogue (Page 29)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can also view the \u003cstrong\u003eentire section\u003c\/strong\u003e in the Nauticalia Catalogue here:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ab-boats.co.uk\/nauticalia\/22-34.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/ab-boats.co.uk\/nauticalia\/22-34.pdf','Nauticalia Catalogue','resizable,height=1000,width=1000'); return false;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/5560\/files\/Pdf-icon.png\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView the Category in the Nauticalia Catalogue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nauticalia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59237638734198,"sku":"1944","price":27.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/5560\/files\/1944_2-700x700.jpg?v=1793716575","url":"https:\/\/shop.chastheboat.co.uk\/products\/1944-nauticalia","provider":"ChasNewensMarine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
