I have some WW1 instruments and would like to identify applicable aircraft types. I have had a look at photos of rebuilt aircraft but it is hard to tell if the instruments are correct or just ” something close” to correct. Any help appreciated – especially with the Admiralty Airspeed. I suspect it is from a RNAS pup , but not 100% sure. Thanks

The 6A/372 has got MR/12/37 on it.
Maybe manufactured in December 1937?
M/R would signify a manufacturers repair/overhaul.
It is not unknown for WW1 manufactured instruments to be re-stamped with later RAF stores ref numbers, so not guaranteed to be of post war manufacture.

6A.372 is a Mk IVC 40-240MPH , inter war years Hinds ,Demons early Ansons etc..
Cross Level is a Mk VA late WW1,inter war years, most types.
Knots …someone will be along….
Tacho 6-2200 RPM seems to be a good fit for WW1 (Judging by the rev range)
Tacho 6-2600 RPM Late WW1 Inter war years.
Tacho 6-3000 RPM unusual format inter war years maybe , civilian ?
Nice group.
Kind Regards Mike

One at left has a 6A section reference, which I’d suggest puts it later than WW1.
