Watch: $200 Accessories: best offer
Hoping to sell this as a bundle as each piece tells a story and is a fun display piece. Recieved as a gift many a year ago however simply don't wear it anymore. The watch runs as good as they day I got it, I would describe it as fair to minimal-wear condition. It has some marring to the steel due to the strap, and very small dings in the steel from use. Can't see it? Neither can I from a foot away, would take a keen eye to spot it.
I assembled the other pieces because they were pivotal to the life of a german pilot. The watch they would have worn, ofc. The mg151 20mm round would have been an armament on their plane, and they certainly would have had this early war (published 1941) war-flying-thing (krieg-flug-zeuge) war plane identifier. No clue where I got that black strap from but none of my other watches are compatible with it.
I purchased this booklet at a german flea market circa 2020. The round was excavated in Latvia? dont remember... You can see that post from 6 years ago where fellow redditors helped to identify its markings, manufactor location and year. Im a huge fan of the bf109 and my received this as a gift as well. The minengeschoss (mine-shot) round has extra swag factor because it was a special round that would have been packed with a high explosive and detonate on impact, making it very effective against enemy planes. This round alone i've seen go from $100-$200 depending on condition but haven't a clue how to offload it except to fellow WW2 nerds. For the superstitous folk, there is not a single "swat sticka" on any of the pieces.
