Hello everyone,
Picked up a nice period (Ordnance Tan) painted Gestell 31 tripod from eBay USA.
One of the legs had some damage due to hyper extension (a very common problem on the G31) but some carefully applied PL Premium & the leg is solid again.
The unit is makers marked B&C Bruninghaus & Co, Leder u. Metallwarenfabrik, Versmold. With serial #103.
I’m going to remove the red aiming circle to lube the internal gear mechanism & to replace a few missing grub screws on the locking collar.
I have mounted my late war Handwinkelfenorhr on it. Colour coordinating [emoji41].
Hope you guys like it. If you have any questions or need more photos please let me know.
