Luftwaffe Tail wheel
Snoopy replied to Snoopy's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
Hello Marcus Thank you very much, for the information. I am grateful for all new information. I am new to collecting aircraft instruments, and someone once told me that these compasses was filled with some sort of oil. In one of my reference books, The Fk 38 is called an "oil filled standby magnetic compass". The book is "German aircraft interiors 1935-1945", written by Kenneth A. Merrick. I made an attempt at taking a picture of my compass. My camera does not like to take close ups, so this is what I could manage right now. Snoopy -

Hello Marcus Nice compass. Is it still full of oil? In my collection, I have a "Fk 38" oil filled compass. Snoopy -

Hi Bob Wow, I'm speachless. What a wonderful collection of Bf 109 parts. Difficult to single out a favourite item, since they are all great. I would love to get one of those panels, with the insignia preserved, but it's just a dream. A panel from a tropical 109, well, you don't stumble over them every day. Thanks, for posting these items.

Hi Bob Glad you like it. I have allways wanted a tail wheel like this. I have seen a few from larger aircraft, but they are a tad to big. Last summer I was offered this wheel, as part of a trade. Just the right size for my den, and from one of my favourite aircraft. I could not say no. Snoopy -

Hello Hmmmmm. I was not shure, where to post this one. I decided to try it here. The model was made for the DLV. I guess, for introdusing yongsters to flying, and basic avionics. Snoopy

Hello This is the back of a Lw envelope, with a nice ink stamp. I am not able to read the name. If anybody can, I would be grateful. Maybe, it would be possible to do some research, on the ink stamp and name. Unfortunately, it's no letter in the envelope. Normally I would only buy envelopes with letters, but I like the stamp.

EK All Eras Artistic Crosses

Great photos. Snoopy -
Hello Paul Glad you like it. It's my favourite postcard. The card has no writing on the reverse. It formerly belonged to a norwegian ss volunteer. The card came from a series of cards, that the soldiers could buy. I guess that some of them ended up in photo albums. Printed on the reverse of the card is "Gebirgsdivision "Nord" in Karelien. Snoopy
