Description
This instrument measured the turn angle and side-slip of the aircraft, relayed the current horizon. It was connected to the main electrics (Umformer) and was located on the main instrument panel on many German fighters.
Made of aluminum, this horizon dates around 1944, and would have been used right up until the end of the war. 95% of the original finish remains, with some slight marks and wear due to the age, and the data label is 85% intact! The dial also still glows when UV light is applied. It retains the original electrical wiring, however the plug is missing (easy to replace). The locking mechanism functions PERFECTLY. Some of the luminous paint is worn off, but that is quite common and does not detract. I have shown its location in the last photos. Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection, restoration project, or panel rebuild!
