Thank you very much guenther

as far as I know, having ask abou it in other forums,it is an auxiliary diesel spare box. Probably from a surface ship, not u-boat related. If interested in his origin it was found in a great military dealer in catalonia Spain,some years ago, which has also some german 8,8 cannons remaining from spanish civil war

Yes I understand your sense. Technical artifacts are maybe not so generally apreciated by collectors. Also I think this kind of items where not considerered so valuable to be preserved in traditional militaria collectors mentality. So most of this kind of things have disapeared.

Pas de probleme avec ton anglais je comprend parfaitment.

a bientôt

Hi that is an interesting looking box of parts, there are a combination of engine and electric motor parts in there, what is the physical size of the piston and connecting rod, thats the rod with the large hole at one end and the smaller one at the other?

cheers
