Re: Luftwaffe Instruments

John, many thanks for your reply.

Yes, you're quite right. Bo-Uk-l=Fi.23885 is engraved (or cast) into the cover of the raised plinth. I'd assumed these to be the manufacturer's code specifying what the instrument is and its model /type. Is this correct or can something else be gained from them? I'd also assumed that the stamped number (18414) on the flange was likely to be unique and may identify the aeroplane it was installed in...

Regarding the other clock (in Belgium). This has the Werke Number (887923) stamped on it - is there a published list of Werke Numbers from which the aircraft can be identified?

Many thanks for your help

Chris

PS: My apologies if this appears twice - the first one disappeared and doesn't seem to have been posted...
