Description: You are bidding on a SUPERB and VERY RARE example of a POST-WAR example of a WW2 German Luftwaffe AFN2 (Anzeigergerät für Funknavigation) Indicator, Ln. 27002! Made using original German parts, this item was manufactured SPECIFICALLY for the Avia S-99 (C-10) and S-199! The AFN2 possesses 2 pointers, both horizontal and vertical. When the aircraft is in-line on a direct course to base, the first needle (vertical) sits exactly upright, in-line with the square marking on the bottom. The second needle (horizontal) indicates the distance of the airplane to the transmitter (radio beacon). When flying over the transmitter the horizontal needle points in-line with the middle marking on the left. When flying directly over the transmitter the fluorescent lamp (Fl.26682), integrated into the AFN2 would light up. This was used in the Me109, Fw190, Me262, He219, and other late-war Fighters and Bombers. The Avia S-199 is a propeller-driven Messerschmitt Bf 109G-based fighter aircraft built after World War II utilizing the Bf 109G airframe and a Junkers Jumo 211F engine in place of the original and unavailable Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine. It is notable as the first fighter obtained by the Israeli Air Force, and used during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.Constructed in Czechoslovakia, with parts and plans left over from Luftwaffe aircraft production, the aircraft had numerous problems and was generally unpopular with its pilots. Czechoslovak pilots nicknamed it Mezek ("Mule"), while in Israel it was officially known as the Sakeen ("knife" in Hebrew). In practice, the aircraft was more often called Messerschmitt or Messer (which also means "knife", in German and Yiddish). Made of aluminum and bakelite this instrument is dated around 1946. It retains 98% of it's original finish, with NO dents or damage! The part number "27002" (which is the same number the Germans used during the war) is clearly indicated on the rear label, along with numerous manufacture marks and inspection stamps. I have shown its EXACT location in the last photos. EXTREMELY RARE, it would make a PERFECT addition to any collection, display, or restoration project! Please email me if you need additional photos or information. ------------------- PAYMENT ----------------- Payment should be made within 7 business days at the end of the auction unless buyer contacts me for other arrangements.
