Hi,
Is the date on it 3.V.40 as in 3rd May 1940? David |
Re: world war I german equipment with interesting marking
Hi David,
I would rather read : 3.V.16 and not 3.V.40 (see : I attach another picture of this detail); and this equipment looks to me rather WWI period. So, I am puzzled; Thanks for your answer; GC |
Re: world war I german equipment with interesting marking
Hi,
Thanks for the clearer picture, I agree that it is 3rd May 1916. My only thought now, as I have no idea if it would have been fitted in a particular aircraft type, is whether or not there was a Kampfgeschwader 51 at that time. Maybe someone else may be able to assist! Regards David |

Might it not be the airmans date of birth on a WW2 item.
