Only One Available. This is a very interesting piece that we haven’t been able to find much reference of, an AAF-marked cartridge counter meant to be wired into an aircraft’s machine gun to assist the gunner in depletion-control. This example comes with the wires still attached at the end and in its original box!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe counter drops by 2 with every turn of the wheel, denoting that this would be meant for a dual-machine gun. There are a few different markings on the piece, inspector stamps along with PR-3 F. The numbers still decrease with ease. The small button on the right side allows the counter to be moved in the opposite direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original box measures \u003cstrong\u003e2 x 2 ¾ x 2½”\u003c\/strong\u003e and is in good overall condition with some tape keeping the lids on. The stock class is O 3-C, and it appears to have been dated 5-7-43, but that date is very faint. There is a repack date of July 9th, 1953 on the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great example, ready for further research and display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43068055388229,"sku":"ONSV25OKC091","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONSV25OKC091__01.jpg?v=1752253589","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-wwii-era-army-air-forces-cartridge-counter-in-original-box","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
