Hi.

Thanks.

Another nice gadget:



Name it, please.

And for more fun:
What was the apparatus on the lower left used for?

Yours

Hi.

Sorry, I completely missed your reply.

The general direction is correct but my sources claim a different (earlier) designation.

Yours

tom!

Thanks!

See what you all make of this. It's part of
some German equipment, but what...?

Not much :roll: - is it some kind of pressure-regulator, perhaps for Davis-Lung of some sort????, Varjag

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

Davis-Lung of some sort????

Not that far off at all!
Here's another bit of the item in question:

I'm really at a loss Waleed :roll: Perhaps a part of the 'potash CO2 catchment' system for exhaling trapped submariners????
Varjag

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

I'll give this one to Varjag.
It is as close as it gets without mentioning the actual name... Well done!

The first is a re-breather release valve.
The second is the rail which is used to open the re-breather "bag/vest"
so as to get to the inside parts and oxygen bottle.
So, as Varjeg stated it's for saving trapped submariners - more correctly called
the Dräger Tauchretter.

Picture source: my own collection. Fortunate to have found a few mouthpieces
with tubing, some rails, valves and other bits and pieces.

All yours Varjag!

It's a giggleing pin for a whatcha-ma-call-it.... sorry varag just had to do it, actually I have no idea what it is

Hi Varjag,

Looks suspiciously like an anti tank round with a sabot.
