WW2 SOE - Self Soldering Sleeves

Self-soldering sleeves "Sleeves, Jointing, Self-soldering, No. 3," were used during WW2 by British SOE and American OSS agents for sabotage and demolition. These copper tubes, containing solder and surrounded by pyrotechnic compound, ignited with a match-like strike to join wire leads without a soldering iron. This particular box has been disguised as an ordinary box of French match box and container 10 sleeves with instruction sheet.
