Original Item. Only One Available. We have had very few of these Torpedo Timer type Stopwatches in over 35 years of business in the U.S.A.. This example still runs, and is housed in a chrome-plated brass alloy case. The fluted knob on the top controls everything. You wind it up and when you push it in once the single seconds had starts moving immediately. On the second push, the second hand freezes at the time elapsed position. On the third push the timer resets itself to zero ready for reuse. The large hand on this watch has unfortunately become loose, so it no longer properly indicates time, however the movement works flawlessly. It should be an easy fix for a watch repairman.
Of course, these stopwatches were not just used for timing torpedoes, and this example is marked to the Boxing Squad of the Leibstandarte SS “Adolf AH” on the rear of the case:
Box-Staffel
LᛋᛋAH
This is all under the standard NSDAP straight wing Eagle.
The “Leibstandarte SS Adolf AH”, short LSSAH, began as Adolf AH’s personal bodyguard, responsible for guarding the Führer’s person, offices, and residences. Initially the size of a regiment, the LSSAH eventually grew into an elite division-sized unit during World War II. As with many long term NSDAP organizations, it would field various sports teams as part of training.
