Wanted - WW2 CG Conn Aviation Instruments

[SaxMan]

During World War 2, the band instrument manufacturer C.G. Conn Company. of Elkhart, Indiana retooled to make aviation instruments for the war effort. Among the items they produced were:

- Compasses
- Altimeters
- Gyro-Horizon Indicators

...as well as other instruments requiring precision assembly.

As a collector of Conn Saxophones and other Conn memorabilia, I think the aviation instruments would make a valuable and significant addition to my collection.

After researching a bit more, I found out that CG Conn made the C-12 Altimeter for Kollsman...it was used on AAF fighters such as the P-38, P-39 and P-40.

yes , you're right , what follow are the data for this altimeter:

RAF Stores Ref. : 106A/837 - RAAF Stores Ref. : G106A/50205.

MFR’S Part N° AN-GG-A-461
