Focke-Wulf Fw 190 "BOMBEN" handle

Got this very interesting emergency bomb release handle (Notwurfhebel) last week. It originates from Focke-Wulf Fw 190 that forcedlanded/crashed in Sweden during the war. The handle was used in all models that had the ETC-501 bomb attachment.

From what I can make out of the handle it is marked (B1) and (H?)possibly (A?) on one side and (45) (76) on the other. 

So it will most probably originate from one of the following planes.

http://www.forcedlandingcollection.se/LW/indexLW.html

1945-04-19 Fw 190A-8 Bulltofta, F10
1945-04-30 Fw 190A-8 Bulltofta, F10
1945-05-08 Fw 190A-8 Fosie (Malmö)
1945-05-08 Fw 190A-8 Ramdala (Karlskrona)
1945-05-08 Fw 190F-8 Ållskogsgård (Ystad)
1945-05-08 Fw 190A-8 Glemminge (Ystad)

Mottog ett intressant nöd-handtag (Notwurfhebel ) för att fälla bomblasten på ett Focke-Wulf Fw 190 som hade nödlandat/kraschat i Södra Sverige under andra världskriget. Typen av handtag användes på alla modeller av FW 190 som hade ETC-501 bombfästet.

Så handtaget kommer sannolikt från något av planen i listan här ovan.

Pilot Goggles modell AN-6530

The glasses are the American model AN- 6530 which was standardized in 1943 for use in the US by the Air Force. Then they came to Sweden and was produced by Aero Behör.  This company I do not know much about , but they also made suits to the Swedish Air Force.

Glasögonen  är av amerikansk modell AN-6530 som standardiserades 1943 för att användas i USA av  b la flygvapnet. Sedan kom de till Sverige och tillverkades då av Aero Behör. Just den firman vet jag  inte så mycket om, men de tillverkade även overaller till svenska flygvapnet.

Tack Totto på Erikshjälpen för försäljningen samt Annika (flygvapenmuseum.se) för informationen

J8 Gloster Gladiator propeller and some early grenades

Tog en tur till västkusten. Plockade upp tre granater och en Propeller som visade sig vara historiskt intressant. Tack Lennart och Patrik

Min propeller är märkt:
NR. 3017
D. 3125
ST. 4500
FPL. Typ J8.A
M. TYP. MY. S3
M.  17. 3. 41
Samt en etikett Centrala Flygverstaden Malmen


Gloster Gladiator i Svensk tjänst
I mitten av 1930-talet sökte Flygvapnet efter ett modernt jaktflygplan.  Av biplanen ansågs Gloster Gladiator ha bästa prestanda enligt flygvapnets önskemål.

I Sverige var flygplanet känt som J 8.

Någon licenstillverkning kom inte till stånd eftersom flygvapnet bara behövde ytterligare 18 flygplan för att utrusta en tredje division, utan flygplanen beställdes från Gloster, de sista flygplanen kom att utrustas med den utvecklade My S3-motorn.

När andra världskriget inleddes 1939 fanns 51 flygplan kvar i aktiv tjänst. Den 30 december 1939 lånade F 8 ut 12 flygplan till F 19 Finland. Eftersom de nio kvarvarande flygplanen inte fick återvända till Sverige med den finska nationalitetsmålningen målades den finska svastikan över med olika fantasifulla figurer. Under tiden i Finland betecknades planen med ett blått hakkors i liggande position. Nämnas bör att detta hakkors inte hade någon koppling till Nazityskland, utan ursprunget till emblemet var den svastika som var målad på det flygplan som den svenske greven Eric von Rosen år 1918 skänkte till det nygrundade flygvapnet och som därefter användes som igenkänningstecken på flygplanen.

Den sista kvarvarande J 8 i flygvapnet kasserades 1947. En finns idag bevarad i F 19 märkning och är utställd på Flygvapenmuseum i Linköping.

Arteleri granater För mig okända granater. Ser ut att vara tidiga 1900-tals granater i kromat utförande för prydnads bruk.

The artillery shells are unknown to me but looks like some earlier 1900s shell in chromed condition for that perfect place in every home.

Kreuz Bronze König Grätz 1866 
The Memorial cross for combatants consisted of bronze and was made ​​from the metal of captured guns; between the arms of the cross was located on both sides of a wreath of laurel leaves . The execution of non-combatants was made ​​of normal oxidized bronze, and Kranz oak leaves represent.

The central shield bore the signature on the front of Wilhelm I Rex and the name "Prussia's victorious armies." On the upper arm of the cross was the royal crown. On the other arms was the inscription: "God was with us, to Him be the glory."

On the back of the royal eagle was in the central shield on a gun barrel. Depending on the theater of war was on the cross arms the inscription: "Hradec Kralove, the July 3, 1866", "The Main Army 1866", "faithful warriors 1866" or - in the version for non-combatants - "devotion to duty in the war."

After the death of the holder of the Memorial cross should be kept in the parish.

SA Dagger and three Vinyl LPs

Took a little Sunday drive to Helsingborg to pick up a dagger and a small lot of interesting medals/medalions and LPs

Thank you Christian and Birgitte


SA Dagger - Marked RZM M7/10 1941 for J. A. Henckels, very nice condition

Two commemorate medallions for  The 1941 Plebiscite In GAU Kärten
After the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian Empire large numbers of German speaking Carinthian Slovenes settled in Slovenia in the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia) after World War I. The Kärntner Volksabstimmung or Carinthian Plebiscite on 10 October 1920 determined the final southern border between Austria and the independent Balkan states.Between 1938 and 1945 Carinthia formed part of the Reichsgau Kärnten. When Nazi Germany invaded and occupied Slovenia in April 1941, the ethnic German Carinthian Slovenes voted on whether or not they wanted to become citizens of the Third Reich. Overwhelmingly they did. This plebiscite as called Die Kärntner Volksabstimmung 1941 and the rare commemorative Nazi medal we offer here was produced for the event. It has RZM number M9/238 on the back for the firm Schneider of Wien (Vienna, the second largest city of Adolf Hitler's Greater Germany).

Landesdenkmünze 1914-1918 Provincial Commemorative Medal 1914-1918
All Great War participants being Tyrol residents as of November 01, 1918 as well as those who participated in defending of Tyrol area between 1915 and 1918 were made eligible for decoration with that medal. Institution of Landesdenkmünze 1914-1918 was intended to stress succession of traditions of frontline Tyrol soldiers who fought during the wars of 1796-97, 1848, 1859 and 1866. Pretenders to obtain the medal had to pay duty worth 2 Schillings that were transferred to the Provincial War Victims Fund (Landes-Kriegsopferfond). The medal was awarded until March 1940, and 120,000 veterans approximately were issued with the medal by that date.
