thank you for your interest and comments Colin piston: 85 mm diamenter x 100 mm long rod: 295 mm long regards A.

Yes I understand your sense. Technical artifacts are maybe not so generally apreciated by collectors. Also I think this kind of items where not considerered so valuable to be preserved in traditional militaria collectors mentality. So most of this kind of things have disapeared. Pas de probleme avec ton anglais je comprend parfaitment. a bientôt A

Thank you very much guenther as far as I know, having ask abou it in other forums,it is an auxiliary diesel spare box. Probably from a surface ship, not u-boat related. If interested in his origin it was found in a great military dealer in catalonia Spain,some years ago, which has also some german 8,8 cannons remaining from spanish civil war regards A.

My knowledge on navy engines beeing really reduced,this huge spare parts box coming from the Kriegsmarine Arsenal Kiel to my collection, is not yet correctly identified.I got it from seller with the description U-boat auxiliary engine spare parts box. Any help or sugestions are welcome Kriegsmarine engine spare parts box regards Alejandro

If I see more from this type of navy voltmeters I will let you know. They are to be found regularly in german ebay as Kriegsmarine Messinstrument or something similar. By the way frites are really expensive in your country kindly regards from Spain

un placer el poder aportar algo curioso, saludos amigo nibelungen

Hello guenther thank you for your visit and comments. Concerning the KM voltmeters, I got regularly this kind of artifacts, they are cheap and not really scarce. I payed aprox 20 to 50 euros for each. best regards Alejandro

the question is also treated in a german porcelain collectors site: www.gastroporzantik.de http://www.gastroporzantik.de/webboard/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=615d9d5f1a7

Hello all I got recently a U-boat original inventory from U-874 dated 1944. (Allgemeine Gerätesoll) I found between the china inventory green circles dishes indicated to be used in the Oberfeldwebel table service and brown circle dishes to be used in officers table service. I know there are other Kriegsmarine porcellain with different colours like red circles or others. Are those other types related to different use? Is this use known? I couldn´t find any Kriegsmarine china classification related to colour. Any help would be of great value. Thank you in advance A readable scan of those pages in my site http://ag727.vox.com I regret I was not able to upload this images in this topic best regards Alejandro

you are very kind guenther, it is still in work, but thank you very much. Good luck also for your collection guenther which should be very interesting as far as I see kindly regards Alex
