Kriegsmarine demolition charge timer for U-boats ww2

Demolition charge timer for WWII U-boats of the Kriegsmarine

Extremely rare militaria collector's item

These timers were used when the U-boat was in danger of getting into enemy hands. You can set it from 1 to 24 minutes. At the end of time, an electrical pulse was sent to the explosive charges. This is probably an unused copy, since the issued timer were provided with the number of the submarine. Function not tested. Otherwise good condition. Marked with Systeme Zbinder and different numbers. Below the scale, three rings can be adjusted using the wheels at the back.

Material: glass, metal

Dimensions: 13 x 11 cm

Mainly probably used towards the end of the war for self-destruction.

As most U-boats were sunk, very rare.
