Afternoon. I was offered this today, the seller told me it was an early WW2 RAF survival raft / dinghy hand pump or bellows. The item still works very well. There are no markings or stamps anywhere.
Any further information would be appreciated.

Well it might be, but I remember in the 1970's my parents having something very similar to inflate rubber mattressess and beach swimming aids. The design has been around for a very long time and without marks, very difficult to date. As always with provenance stories lean towards "prove it."
I couldn’t agree more. I can’t seem to find any pics of Luftwaffe survival dinghies and their pumps online.
Here is a WWII British one $20/GBP
