F-317 RARE Luftwaffe Seat Parachute (Sitzfallschirm)
This is a mostly complete seat parachute (only missing the chute
itself) which was used by Luftwaffe flight personnel. It is large, measuring
approximately 20” long by 15” wide by 4” tall, with off white/tan heavy
canvas straps and an aluminum seat, which is finished in a dark grey/brown hue.
According to the stamping on the back of the central release buckle, it is model
10-100-1 with maker identified as “SA/Schloss.”. Also listed in the same
spot are other manufacturer numbers like a work number, etc. The face plate of
the buckle says “Gurtzeug Ablegen: Drehen Dann Drücken!” (roughly “To
Take Off: Turn Then Squeeze!”), while the sides say “entsichert”
(“unlocked”) and “gesichert” (“locked”). The lower chute pouch is
made of a tropical colored canvas, with one side ink stamped with information
presumably about the manufacturer, this is hard to read, but what I can see say
“F 6882”. A great display item!
