Re: KG-13A ID?
Interesting discussion on the KG 13's. I have acquired this KG 13B years ago in Germany and in my opinion, it is a genuine WWII item. Still, I have some small issues that bother me. One, for example, is the missing "V" marking of the electrical wiring.
I would like to hear your thoughts about this KG 13. Thanks! |

The code were allocated by design of the bordnetz by nomenclatuur weren't they? All manufacturers had to comply to this method of making a diagram of the bordnetz. I.G. V23 marking follows the list and is not connected to the part or make of plane. |

You can tell it was added, as the wear/paint loss goes under the plate. That is a typical feature of a grip that was messed with post-war. Regarding grips: Grip types were transferred - for example, some of the Me109 electrical schematics show a KG13B...when it was the KG13A that was the most used (heavily, as in the 99% of the time range). Also, rather than the standard KG13B used on the Fw190, I have seen a KG13A installed. The internal wiring set-up differed between the KG13A and KG13B...so in the situations were the grip types were changed...the wiring set-up also had to be changed. Regarding the electrical codes: Having owned numerous electrical schematics from every major aircraft used, for sure V25 is not found on any of them. Having been involved in numerous restorations, as well as over 60 grips, I can tell you 100% that the main codes were never, ever transferred between aircraft. For example, you will never, EVER find a Fw190 "V60" code on an Me109 grip...nor will you ever find an Me109K "1V104" on a grip from a Ar96. The schematics differed for a reason - it was to ID the specific item TO the specific electrical system OF the specific aircraft. The only time the electrical codes crossed- over, was when they were for "common items". For example, the FuG16 radio equipment all had the same standard set-up and wiring connections. Though the individual wiring codes that ran between each unit of the system may differ, the MAIN code, identifying, the MAIN unit remained the same. For example: "F155" for the AFN 2 "F104" for FuG16 umformer "F105" for the umformer ground plate You will find these codes as being IDENTICAL in almost all aircraft that used them...because as I already mentioned, they were a common item. The items that were specific to the aircraft (such as grips), had unique codes, that were never transferable. |

position of V25 in 8-109.000-352 Bordnetz Anlage, on the right you will find the grip KG13A with V23
