WW II German Elt. Wendezeiger - TURN & BANK - Fl. 22413 - Do335 Me262 - RARE!

Description

You are bidding on a SUPERB example of a WW2 German Luftwaffe Elt. Wendezeiger (Electric Turn and Bank Indicator), Fl. 22413, as used ONLY in Germany's famous late-war fighters such as the Do335 and Me262 B Nightfighter!
This instrument measured the turn angle and side-slip of the aircraft, and was connected by a SEPARATE dedicated battery, as opposed to the main electrics.
It was located in the Do335 and Me262B cockpit or main instrument panel and acted as a back-up Turn/Slip in case there was any issues with the main system (or electrics).
It could also be plugged into a secondary socket for emergency use.
Made of aluminum and steel, this VERY RARE late instrument is a SUPERB example and dates around 1944.
Though the battery supply is not included, it is otherwise 100% complete!
This was removed from an aircraft by a US veteran.
The Fl. number is complete on the data plate, clearly indicating Fl. 22413.
It retains 95% of it's original finish, and features no rust or damage!  I have indicated it's location in the last photo (Do335 Instrument Panel).
A SUPERB item, perfect for any collector, display, or restoration project!
Please email me if you need additional photos or information.

------------------- TERMS OF SALE -----------------
Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage.

All sales are final, so please make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you purchase.
------------------- ABOUT ME -----------------
Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
