Hi All I'm new to this group,so I thought that I would start with a bit on an intro. My name's Max and I am a collector of memorabilia from the German Kriegsmarine of WW2. My collection can be viewed here at my site: www.atlantik-pirat.com I have decided to join this group, as being a collector of Naval items I have a keen interest in Navigational Instruments. Whilst doing a Google search for some items that I have in my collection (and items that I am looking for), I came across an archived message regarding a couple of instruments that I have. The Instruments in question are the Dennert & Pape (gwr) HR-2 and MHR-1. I have neen trying to gather information on these Navi Insruments to help understand them a little better. I know of a few in Museums around the Globe and a couple in private collections. I would like to share mine with members of this Group, as these are seldom seen anywhere. If you click on this link (or copy and paste), I have posted a few stills for all to see: http://www.panoramio.com/user/707446 You will also be able to see the rarely seen Bygrave AML Position Line Ruler, that the MHR-1 (and the HR-1 Luftwaffe equivalent) was based on. The only other Navigational Instrument that keeps eluding me is the Carl Zeiss Jena (blc) ARG-1 (Astronomisches Rechenger�t 1). This was a Luftwaffe intrument, but the Kriegsmarine ordered a small number to carry out trials on U-boats. These proved so successful, they were adopted by the U-boat Arm. The only difference between the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine instrument, is the letter 'M' on the top of the casing. Everything else (including the FL~~~~ Luftwaffe code) remained the same. If anyone knows of one..... All the very best and thank you for taking tme to read my post.
