ksg Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Hello ! A friend of mine got this interesting object hanging on a wall in his cabin. He again inherited it from hes father, who built the cabin. It must be a machine telegraph, but not like any we have seen seen on ships. In May 1916, the Zeppelin LZ 59 (tactical number L20) crashed after a bombing raid on Britain, in Hafrsfjord, close to Sola airport outside Stavanger. This is 20 min drive from were we live. Could this be the telegraph from this Zeppelin ? Any help to identify this will be appreciated. Kjell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
