Luftwaffe Part Number FL.32502 - Amperemeter

Hi,
A few years ago I bought a Siemens Amperemeter to add to my Luftwaffe instrument collection :



What with one thing and another, I never really got around to looking at it until recently.

The instrument itself, Im pretty sure, is 1942.

the thing is, its in a box with an Italian Air Ministry label (I 'think' thats what M del A means). The bottom line of the label might be a date (I cant speak Italian), in which case it says 10.8.60. But maybe this number relates to something else?



So how does a Luftwaffe instrument end up in a box with Italian markings?

Any ideas appreciated.

Regards,

S.

Hi,

The label appears to be for an external air thermometer with a different Fl no in which case the instrument is not in the correct box anyway. Still doesn't answer the gist of your query though!

Regards

David

Hi,
The Label seems to be Spanish "Ministerio del Aire", which in 60's still uses German derivatives Hispano Aviacion Ha 1112 M1L Buchon (Bf109), Casa 2111 (He111) and Casa 352 (Ju52). And surely use German instruments from 40's.

Regards.

Thanks Mikelius for wrapping that one up. Much obliged.

I do actually have an external temp gauge in the box, I must have somehow mixed them up.

Thanks again,

Regards,

S.
