A good customer of mine brought these in so I thought I would share! They all need some cleaning but I should be able to get the gunsights all operational.

Do you know what planes they are from.
The Revi C/12D was used in all of the Me 109 variants up to the G model. They were also used in the FW 190 series up to the A12 I believe. The Revi 16B was introduced in 1943 and was an updated version of the C/12 and gradually replaced the older model. The manifold pressure gauge is from a Ta-152 and the stick is from either a Me109 or a FW190.
WOW !
Nice ......very VERY nice !
They are all in such good condition. Obviously been well cared for

Hi Steve,
Yeah I thought so too! I have started cleaning them up and hope to have them operational by the end of next week. He also brought in this clock from a crashed Me 109 and what's cool is the guy who salvaged had teh good sense to keep th aircraft data plate from the instrument panel!
Cheers

I am totally and utterly jealous

PS You've obviously got too many gunsights for you to clean yourself. Please feel free to send me one
I dont want to rain on your parade,but the the clock
FL 23888 BoUk3 is not a Bf109 clock,BF109 E through K
only used FL-23885 BoUk1 J-30BZ fitted with the
chronograph function at the 6 oclock position.
Your clock is listed as a blind flying clock,and I must say
I cannot find exactly what it did fit! A nice item none the less.
Regards Mike
PS..the french tacho is a gem!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Mike,
No rain at all! I had found that fact out from another forum, I just hadn't had the time to update here. I do however have the proper clock as well. This clock may be a watch officers clock. I am still researching it. The proper clock appears to be inoperative which would make sense based on the purported fate of the aircraft.
I will keep you all posted!
Gary
Here are the promised pictures. The actual clock doesn't work so what I think happened was they found another clock that did and married the data plate to the functioning clock. Unfortunately we will never really know!
Anyway, here's the other clock.
