Description
This compass was the main navigation device used by German aircraft. It was usually positioned in the rear fuselage of the aircraft, and sent a signal to the smaller, “Fuhrertochterkompass”, which was located on the pilot’s control panel. These two instruments would work together to indicate the aircraft’s heading to the pilot. It was used on almost all Fighters, Bombers, and Jets. Made of aluminum, steel, and bakelite, this Mutterkompass and Mount are in SUPERB used condition! Removed from a Fw190, they both still retains 95% of it’s original paint and finish, with NO damage or corrosion! All springs and wiring are intact, and the data label is 100% clear and easy to read. It is still mounted to the original bakelite support, that has the clear part number, “8-189.135-0701. I have indicated its exact location in the Fw190 in the last photo. Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection, display, or restoration project! Please email me if you need additional photos or information. ——————- PAYMENT —————– Payment should be made within 7 business days at the end of the auction unless buyer contacts me for other arrangements. I accept all forms of payment. ——————- SHIPPING —————– My goal is to ship within 7 days from auction end. However, depending on circumstances, it may take up to an additional 1 week from receipt of confirmed payment. If you need it shipped sooner, please let me know and I will do our best to accommodate. ——————- 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. I will describe each auction to the best of my knowledge and take as many photos necessary to ensure you are pleased upon receiving your item. 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. ——————- COPYRIGHT —————– |
