WWII Parachute Release

Recommended Posts

I've got what I think is a WWII era parachute release. The classic twist & punch to shrug off your harness and silk. Unlike the few others I've seen, this release has all four tabs which attached to the harness webbing. Something I learned, only three of the harness points fall away. Pilots had to step into, or out of, the remaining loop of strap.

I've attached some piccies.

I saw this sale for a release on Ebay, without tabs, go for 140-some US dollars.

Make me a reasonable offer. If you'd like more photos or have questions, email me.


This piece gets sent from Down Under and weighs roughly 800g.

Shipped to North America under $30 USD.

Shipped to Europe under 30 euros.

Paypal or bank transfer's best for me.


Cheers,


Colander

Check back later in the week. I'll be posting Korry switches and some 737 panel parts.
