Stig

Congratulations, very nice.

Stig

I would like to show you my new Austrian-Hungarian binoculars, at least I think that it is Austrian-Hungarian army binoculars. Any comment is welcome.

All the best

Thank's for showing your clock. It's in great condition, and very nice pictures.

Very nice!

Does anyone know, if there where other manufacturers of these arm compasses, or are they all manufactured in Prague?

That's great! It's the first time that I have seen any documentation on this one.

The Junghans logo.

The inside of the clock, with Luftwaffe markings.

A recent addition to my collection. A Luftwaffe approved duty clock. From what I have understood, these clock's where standard equipment with ground based radio stations. I have allso read somewhere that they where sometimes used in aircraft by navigators and bomb aimers. I don't know if that is correct. If someone has any additional information about these clock's, I would be grateful.

I am a happy (young) man. I found this one at a flea market. Hiding between rubbish, in a box. I have been looking for one of these for years. I have allways told my self, that one day, one of these must turn up, at a flea market, or in an antiques store. Some times it pays off, to be patient. I payed under four dollars, for mine. I hope that you like it.

Hello Brian,

Now please don't quote me on this as I could be wrong but I believe DRP (Deutsche Reichspatent) indicates manufacture from 33 to 45.

I would have a guess at Rundblick - Fernrohr being panorama telescope, probably also panorama periscope.

Tony

DRP can allso be found on a lot of earlier items, both civillian and military. I have seen this marking on clocks, dating from around 1900. Deutsches Reich was the official name on Germany, since 1871, according to Wikipedia.

Wow, You did a wonderful job. You rescued it.

Very nice Rbl. f. 16. Looks very much like WWI manufacture. I have two of these in my collection. Mine are manufactured during WWII.

In the picture below, the one in the middle, and the one the right, are Rbl. f. 16. The one one the left, is a Rbl. f. 32. When you compare your optics, with the two on the right, you can see differences in manufacture. None of mine, has any engraved inscription. I am no expert, but in my opinion, you have a nice WWI example. You have a very kind wife, that would buy something like this for you. Mine probably wouldn't.

All the best

Hi Paul

The only additional information I have, is the information on the data label.

Equipment for the larger FLAK search light. These coal rods was used instead of light bulbs, in the larger search lights. Theys where used in pairs. When electrical current was turned on, a small lightning was created between the rods. This produced a very intense light.
