Opinion AA Ext Pole

[timg]

Hi gent couple of pic's for your consideration.

I know BTM made lafette, query is did they also make the AA pole for them.

If the above is yes they did, did ALL of the various manufacturers make them?

Are the markings below authentic/ micky mouse? And lastly what's going on with the black colour?

Thanks for any info.

Regards

I thought they should be green...What's the length?

Length is most important, as I believe post war are different. The colour could be due to Yugo army service.

Hi Carles,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, bit busy at the moment.

Length of tube, total, is 54cm.

The black by the way is not paint, more like a staining or anodized on the alloy.

Tim.

hello Tim,

54 is good, and for sure it is aluminium like, so good also. The black, I don't know if they anodized black but that is more typical of Yugo equipment or, as mentioned, items that have been in Yugo service.

Hi Carles,

I can live with an original german but Yugo re-used AA extension tube/pole ( can never remember the correct name!)

The top pic is interesting as they are using the zwillings ammunition can. Hope they supported the belt as the gun would never lift that lot!

Regards

Tim
