The Coast Guard was a unit of Jewish and Arab guards established in 1942 by the British Mandate Police. The purpose of the unit was to warn of a possible invasion by the German or Italian forces into Israel via the coast. The Jewish guards were conducted along two coastal sections, from Rosh Hanikra to Atlit, and from Jisr a-Zarqa to Nabi Rubin (the Nahal Sorek estuary area). In 1944, in view of the unit's poor condition, it was added to the Palmach in the form of two companies, north and south. About a year later, with the passing of the danger invasion, the British disbanded the unit.

18 cm. Very good condition.
