Third and fourth bar front, and detail of fourth bar.

Second bar back, with ID disk.

Second bar front, with ID disk.

Back of first bar.

Hi all, When your time permits... I was able to acquire some ribbon bars and would like your opinion on these: 1) First question would be; what about the authenticity? 2) 2 of the bars came with an ID disk to "Hans Freiherr von Welser". Can anyone confirm that the 2 bars actually do belong to Von Welser? 3) Identification of ribbons? 4) Is identification possible on the other bars? - I'll post the images one by one - Regards, Peter

I might be to blame for some of your outbidding I'll make it up to you by posting images of some bars in a different section of the forum when they arrive Regards, Peter

Side view of beta rotor.

Back of beta rotor.

Water found naval Beta rotor from enigma machine, marked "B" for beta, "M10335" and the code "gfc". See for a description and explanation of the use of these google. According to the seller this one was found in the "Großer Segeberger See" (see also google maps). According to http://www.radix.net...codes_full.html the code "gfc" stands for " Julius Posselt, Gablonz an der Neisse, Sudetenland". I am by the way still looking for a 'reflector' from an enigma machine :unsure:

And the back.

A signalling device, marked on the back "Carl Zeiss JENA", number "169149", "No 2640" and "1934". There's also something like a WAA stamp but which has become illegible. The piece is complete, including the original cable, light fitting and light and inner mirror. The only minor point is that it has a cracked mirror, but this is also how I bought it... The signaller would use the lever on the front to open or close the device, which would show one or more dots or a larger opening. Does anyone has more information on how these were used?

This is an interesting piece, which came in only last week. This is a "Lichtpunktwerfer" from a "Jägerleitdienst", loosely translated as a light dot projector, an instrument to produce a dot of light for display on a map. A "Jägerleitdienst" is a fighter control station. Search google for more information. Instruments in use can be seen on a period photo from a german fighter control station: search the german wikipedia (de.wikipedia.org) for the word "wehrmachthelferin". Based on the photo on wiki it can be deduced that my piece is incomplete, but still makes an awesome display piece The piece is marked "dhq" and "2047 II". As for the 3 letter code; the German government tried to hide the names of the factories still in production. They issued every factory with a unique code which was engraved on the instrument instead of the makers name and location. One of the more complete lists with codes can be found here: http://www.radix.net...codes_full.html According to this site, the code "dhq" stands for Moeller G.m.b.H., J.D., Wedel (Holst.)

A manual air raid siren. Size about 25 cm across. It weighs a ton and makes a hellish sound (we tried it on new years eve last year ) but makes a nice display item :jumping:
