    LW/KM "Marine-Einmann-Schlauchboot"

    I just bought this one man liferaft/boat I think was used in German WW2 fighterplanes. I wonder if anyone could tell me how rare these are and an estimated value?
    I have been told that these was supposed to be in every singel fighterplane at the end of the war. But I'm not shure if it was.
    It is in perfect untouched and unused condition. Produced in jan/feb 1945

    Was it used both by Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe?

    I think they were used by marine and luftwaffe i have the luftwaffe one in the green canvas bag marked for the luftwaffe. They are rare and command a high price. I think my friend Jim payed €3,900 for his one a few years back. I also have the bag you have in semi relic condition this was found on the isle of Sheppy not sure thats spelt wright at the hight of the battle of Britain, by a fire watcher. Story goes it came from a crashed Me 109. Iam sure others here can give you more detailed info. Its a nice piece you have . Do you have the bottle ect, regards Paul.

      Ok. The value is what expected then. Thank you Paul.
      There are no O2 bottle, paddles or difting anchor.
      The bag and the boat itself is in great unused condition. The boat still holds the air.

      It is for sale.

        Well, I've seen prices over the years ranging from 800 to 2000, but that's a bit about it ..

        These one man life boats did not have paddles.
        Every now and then the red O2 bottles can be found on ebay, hardest part is to find the air nipple to connect it to the boat.

        Maybe these navy boats were worn in the water planes that were on board of the vessels ?
