It's in beautiful condition - doesn't look like it saw much use.

Fran?ois,

What can you tell us about it? Inquiring minds would like to know more!

I notice the spirit levels... logically I think this would be near impossible to maintain level on board a combat aircraft?! So I wonder what is their purpose?

Sorry Rich, but on this one I can't provide any info except that it a star finder, not used on a single fighter plane (nor stuka), and I am hoping somebody can highlight me on it.

Once Mike Heuer (LW collector) mentioned the fact that a German vet (pilot), friend of his remembered such tools but no more info/ Maybe by chance a book, a technical manual, a picture ....... will show one in use

Interesting piece. I hope someone can help
