Description
You are bidding on a VERY NICE example of a 2nd Model 1940’s WW2 German Luftwaffe 8-day Kienzle Clock, Fl. 23886-1, as used in many aircraft types, such as the Ju88, Ju87, Me110, Do17, and other fighters and bombers!
Mounted on the main instrument panel, this clock needs no introduction. It was made famous throughout the war as one of the standard German Aircraft Cockpit Clocks. It was usually mounted on the front or side cockpit consoles and features a chronometer and adjustable bezel.
Made of aluminum, brass, and steel, this last model Kienzle was produced between 1944 and 1945. It is an EXCELLENT example and retains 95% of it’s original RLM66 paint, with only some slight scratches and marks! The hands still glow at night (must be charged with UV light), and “KIENZLE” is prominently stamped onto the face. The data plate is missing (common). INteresting to note that the main housing is actually plastic, as opposed to aluminum, making this a VERY late model! Sadly, it is NOT FUNCTIONAL at this time, as the main spring is broken. As such, I am selling this AS-IS for parts or restoration. Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any Luftwaffe collection, display, or restoration project!
