Description
You are bidding on a SUPERB example of a WW2 German Kriegsmarine Verdunkler (Light Dimmer Knob)! This was used in various U-Boats, Battleships, Destroyers, and other ocean going vessels.
These knobs and switches were essential for reducing the visibility of naval vessels at night, making them less susceptible to detection and attack by Allied forces.
Made by of steel, aluminum, and bakelite, this Dimmer Switch is in AMAZING New Old Stock condition! Complete in the original box, 99% of the original Kriegsmarine Grey paint remains, and all data info and inspection stamps remain! Built in an armored housing (and locking nuts) identical to the U-Boat & Ship Phones, the knob works 100% smoothly and correctly. Dated December 8, 1941, it would make an SUPERB addition to any collection, panel re-build, or restoration project!
