    Lofte 7 bomb sight and BZA bombing computer

    Hi guys,
    I have a Lofte 7 Luftwaffe bomb sight and a BZA dive-bombing computer, both in their original large, heavy, luftwaffe, well marked crates. Are their any others out there? Are they very rare, I can't seem to find a lot of info or photos of them.

    You've probably seen this already, but here's some data on the Lofte 7 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotfernrohr_7

      Yes, I have seen it, but it's not a lot of info. Not a lot out there or many photos. The computer is a BZA 1 and has multiple parts, crate is luft gray and well marked. The bomb sight is the Lofte 7D (I think it's the D), is large and in a crate I can't even move, which has metal rails and handles on it, luft gray painted and well marked. It has the original info cards with it. If I get a chance, I will try to do some photos. They are very interesting.

        photos

        OK, FINALLY got around to taking photos of the Lotfe 7D-1 bomb sight and the BZA bombing computer/sight, both in their original large Luftwaffe crates. First, here is the Lotfe, the crate is on a metal rail system of some sort, probably for ease of loading onto the plane? The interior is designed to keep this thing from being damaged if dropped or banged around. It is all on springs. Everything is basically unissued and in perfect condition, but the crate's keys are rusty. Let me know what you think. The actual device itself is heavy, in the crate, it's hard to move.

              Here are the photos of the BZA 1 bombing computer in it's crate. Lots of pieces, removable tray and heavier than the bomb sight. There is also a manual? sight that comes with this one. Very interesting, I would think not often seen.
