Snoopy Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) HelloI would like to show you some german artillery cleaning brushes, that I have in my collection. They are for a 12,7 cm. cannon, and comes from a german naval artillery fortress, in Norway.Snoopy The first one, I find interesting. It has an oiltank. It was probably filled up with oil, before use. Edited April 23, 2007 by Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 The 12,7 cm. brush, together with a smaller callibre brush. The smaller callibre one, is marked with a Kriegsmarine eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Nice stuff. I think that that smaller one could be for an '88? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Nice stuff. I think that that smaller one could be for an '88?Hello PaulI believe that you are spot on, regarding the smaller one. I managed to find a measuring tape, and the metalcore is about 8,5 centimeters. That leaves a few millimetres for the brush hairs.Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hello again Since we are talking about '88's, I thaught that I would try to get an opinion on the following item. I have been told that they used this scale, when they adjusted the sights on the '88'. It was not easy to take a decent picture of this one.Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
