Think that this is built up out of original parts? The capsule is dated 1936 and has been repainted and given a stencil. The handle is dated 1943. I know that the later type did not have a screw on collar, but has the 1936 collar been screwed onto the later wooden handle? Would value opinions on this one. Many thanks.
Hi folks, I just received this Aufspuler from a collector in Germany. I have been looking for one for nearly 15 years. The device is used to retrieve cable on the 17.5 cm reel that is kept in the Fernsprechtornister carried by members of the small phone squad. They are incredibly hard to find and perhaps one of the rarer pieces of field equipment associated with the Wehrmacht. I need a Kurbel (handle) replacement and a good photo of the leather strap from an original example so I may repair mine. Also, can anyone identify the manufacturer mark? It appears to be a letter G inside a gear. Thanks! Neil
Hallo together, this is my first obligatory post. I am an old time toy collector but quite new to collecting miltaria. I hope I can learn a lot more about this interesting field of collecting here.
