WOW WOW WOW!!! Great job on the restoration of the 3kg, but also, that 1kg with original paint and wood insert is fantastic. Truly amazingly rare items you've got there Jens, congratulations!

[oberjaeger]

[oberjaeger]

I agree Jens. I don't like restored items either, it seems to take something away from the item. However, if none of the original paint is remaining, a restoration is better than a hunk of rust. And you do a very good job with your restorations.

FANTASTIC!!!!! A rare item in any condition, but ULTRA rare and exciting to see in that original condition. CONGRATULATIONS!!!


Please show pictures of the ends and the interior.

not really a demolition charge, but it was told that the explosive bar (4kg Amatol) from the Riegelmine was often used as demolition charge

Hello,

Nice tread, maybe you can help me with this one:
I am trying to find information on the self destruction equipment that was used with the top secret radio and radar equipment in Lufwaffe aircrafts, like on the FuG25a. It is refered to as "Sprengkapsel"

The FL no. is Sprengsatz I/15 FL 53993-2 and I found it in a equipment list for a ME262 also indicating the F no. to be FO203 for the FuG 25a

Anybody here at the forum that has information

regards
