Snoopy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 HelloI am new at this forum, and I would like to show you some items from my modest collection. I posted a couple yesterday, and here comes another. I hope you like it. It's a handheld signallamp used by the Luftwaffe. The lamp is marked with a Luftwaffe "Fl." number. The manufacturer was "Zeiss Jkon A. G., Goerzwerk Berlin"Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The the plugs the same as what are used today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) The the plugs the same as what are used today?The signallamp itself is complete, but I forgot to mention that the plug is missing, so I really don't know what type of plug that was used on these lamps. It still has the original cable.If you all are interrested, I will post another type of Luftwaffe lamp from my collection.

Snoopy Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 HelloI have no picture of it in use, but I can imagine that they used them on seaplanes, for sending messages to ships. I have posted a blurry picture of the label, but I think it's possible to read what it says. This lamp came from a former german airbase, in Norway.Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
