I got this and two other pieces from a man who bought them many years ago at a house sale. I have owned them for nearly twenty years now. They were taken off a surrendered German u boat near the end of the war. This piece is all brass and is dated 1937. It was used to calculate a torpedo's run to a target. It also has the original oak storage case. Both pieces have matching serial numbers. During this time, Germany was secretely testing various submarine designs. I have been collecting militaria since 1975 and have never seen another one in person or a reference book. Your comments are welcome.
Hi Mike,
great item. Is it possible to make photos in better quality?
Hi, bin gerade auf der Suche nach genau so einem Artikel. Ich habe nämlich so ein Messinstrument hier liegen und wusste nicht wofür es ist. Nun bin ich ein Stück schlauer, vielen Dank!
