Jan Arne S Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Hi Guys !Pics form a Norwegian LW Collection . Jan Arne
Paul R Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Pics 7Is the kit complete? I have never seen a Norwegian LW Volunteer. Did they use the same insignia and uniform as the German LW?
Jan Arne S Posted December 3, 2006 Author Posted December 3, 2006 Hi Paul !There was very few Norwegian in LW . But a couple of Norwegian Pilots I know about . And as far as I know they used the "normal" German Uniform and insignia . Jan Arne
Paul R Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Jan,Thanks for the newspaper clipping and information!RegardsPAul
joetauchretter Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 The top of the wood box states that it contains a supply pressure gauge with table clamping device for a swim vest bottle . I think this was clamped to a table top and the small O2 bottle that would inflate the swim vest would be screwed into this device to check the pressure to make certain that it was full and ready for use . A very interesting item made by the Dr?ger firm . Any date stamps or war time maker codes such as " byd " or " flr " , both are dr?ger maker codes . Can you please post more detailed pictures for us ? Joe
joetauchretter Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 I wonder if this could be a post war luftwaffe item as the face of the pressure gauge is very similar to my post war Dr?ger tauchretter TR66 pressure gauge face ??? Joe
Gene Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I wonder if this could be a post war luftwaffe item as the face of the pressure gauge is very similar to my post war Dr?ger tauchretter TR66 pressure gauge face ??? JoeThis is a 100% wartime item. Very nice piece!
joetauchretter Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 If this is a WWII item the only maker code " BA " that I could find is SUNDWIGER MESSINGWERKE , ISERLOHN , WESTPHALIA . This was a firm that made measuring devices , the pressure guage was made by the Dr?ger firm . The box and metal device both are marked with the " BA " code so I would think that they were both made by the same company , sometimes a device would be made by one firm and the carrying case by another ! Is there any paper work or instruction booklet that goes with this device ? A very interesting item whice I would like to see more detailed pictures of ! Joe

"BA" is short for "Betriebsamt". A lot of equipment has this marking. One other marking that is often found, is "BAL", short for "Betriebsamt Luftwaffe". I guess that they where some sort of aproval or patentoffices.
