Crank Catch Unit Marked Early Drooptail Lufty

[kirby]

I have a crank catch with the leather makers stamp and the 1935 date. Not as nice as these two. The crank catch spins in the side holes.

Still need more help to decipher > St.K.II/.KG

St mean Staffeln ? K.II = Aircraft 2 KG = Kampfgeschwader ???

Looking more thru the previous link I posted.

St. = Stab Headquarter (HQ)
KG = Kampfgeschwader = Bomber Unit

So, is K.II = KG 2 Holzhammer ? Perhaps another member can solve the remainder, or correct what I've posted

Hey weller i think you are close to the correct meaning buddy


As you say just need some confirmation from an expert



Thanks Mac 66.

Really nice buckles guys. The bomber marked buckle is very nice.

Nice one Mac!
It took me a while to find the one I wanted. It is marked 1935 as well.

Nice, as before the leather stamp is not a buckle maker. Very early Luftwaffe
