Michel Posted May 1, 2005 Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) Navigation stop watch in his box. Edited February 17, 2013 by Michel
Gordon Williamson Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 That boxed stopwatch from the Unterseebootschule is truly awesome ! Hard to overstate just how rare such pieces are.Michel, can you please show your fabulous Kommandantenglas !
Gordon Williamson Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Hello Gordon,As you asked.8 x 60 Komandanten glass with code maker CXN, rarer than the BLC.Best,Michel←Quite fabulous. For anyone not familiar with these special U-Boat binoculars, they are incredibly rare and desirable. Most Binos used on U-Boats were just regular Navy issue, but these are specially designated U-Boat binoculars with the disticntive grey green coating. If I was offered the chance to obtain a Knights Cross, or a set of these Binos, I'd go for the Binos every time. Wonderful !!!
KM-SPAIN Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Hello from Sapin, I'm new in this forum and I can see that is the first one that has a special section for the Kriegsmarine, so I hope that we will share many information about uniforms, caps, equipment, ...Here some of the stopwaches in my collection.
KM-SPAIN Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Here is a nice and rare navigation instrumnet, but I really don't know for what it was used.
KM-SPAIN Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Hello Michel, I hope that somebody else show us his items to learn more about our hobby. Front of the Torpedoschule stopwatch.Eduardo
KM-SPAIN Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Sorry Michel, but I can not check the serial number because both Junhans stopwatches, the black one and the silver one with 30 seconds dial, were changed some time ago for other items. Now I still have two Junhans with black case but only with the more simple eagle on the back side without numbers. One of them has the KM on the dial. I will be out for two weeks in my hollydays, when I return home I will show you them.You are right and both came from Belgium. Do you have any "information" about this? Is there any "problem" with them?Regards.Eduartdo
Michel Posted July 28, 2005 Author Posted July 28, 2005 If you don't have this chronos in your collection today it's better for you... Thank you to post pictures of one with the 'KM + eagle' mark, it is a rare official contract.
KM-SPAIN Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Michel, can you telm me something else about this. I have to supouse that the chronos are postwar (by the serial number) and the back stamps are not original. Is this true?, ... please tell me something else.Here one Junhans, not in my collection now, with two arrows, what do you think about it? the movement is marked with 29a II and serial number 47119.
KM-SPAIN Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Here are the chronos with the black case and eagle KM on the back.
byf Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 What a bunch of outstanding items. I would think these would be very hard to find. Great job.byf
KM-SPAIN Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Just some chronos, rules, maps, ....I would like to see your kriegsmarine items.Regards.Eduardo
reinoudmilitary Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Hello Gents,A picture of my small collection of Kriegsmarine items, located in the Netherlands.I will post another one and I have also more detailed pictures available.
reinoudmilitary Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Same items, different picture.Note the different ocular on the sextant that was with it in the box.
reinoudmilitary Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 My anemometer is marked with an eagle and MSS.I have Hans Seegers book about the binoculars and the MSS is also shown and mentioned in there but the meaning is still a mistery..Possible is Marine Signal Station which i don't believe,Maybey something wich ends with "Schule" from school..
