Part from flak 38.

[mauserk98]

I`ve found this thing some months ago and has found out that it is a flak 38 part. But what is it for?

Hi!

Can't see the pictures, any way you could repost?

[mauserk98]

How do you post pictures?

You cant link to attachments on another forum which requires a user account.

to host on this site you need to become an association member, you can however also use an external hosting site

Here's the photos

Here are the photos that Mauserk98 tried to post above.

It's the Schaltfinger used on the early type Seitenbegrenzer.





Unfortunately none of the photos I have of the early type Begrenzer have this in place and I only have a poor photocopy of L.Dv. 665/2.
Probably a fairly rare item as long as you can find someone who'd actually have a use for it considering most mounts in private hands are late pattern or have the late pattern Begrenzer.

Thanks for the help Lyppe. Now i finally found the answer. Hope anybody has a picture of the part mounted on the canon.

Here's a quick scan of Abbildung 19 from L.Dv. 665/2 showing where the Schaltfinger was installed.

Hope that makes things clearer.
