Hi there!
And today I am back with the second Control Stick post:
Control Stick KG 12A
This one had probably not been issued to a airplane factory and was never installed in an actual aircraft. This particular KG12A was produced by "Original Bruhn" (which also produced various instruments for the Luftwaffe) after a design of the Argus Motoren G.m.b.H. in Berlin. The Geraete-Nummer was 102-57 A. The letter "A" was stamped into the data plate and was the designation for the sub-type of the KG12, obviously the KG12A. A KG12E had an "E" instead of an "A" but the same Fl-number. There is also a B.A. stamp (Bauaufsicht Luftwaffe) that shows that it went through Luftwaffe quality control. Fl.-Nr. was 47945. The KG12A didn't have a so-called B2-button which the later KG13 usually had (at the top left). There was only the top trigger and push button. Some early Me 109 had an additional button at the top attached by a clip or strap that was used for dropping bombs. The KG12A was used for example in the Me 109 E, Ju 87 B and other aircraft.
