Emergency Foot Pump?
Posted by: dmpoint ()

Greetings from the United States,

I purchased an item I believe to be from a U-Boat and am asking for any members to share information on it if possible. The item is a Wood Bellows type of foot pump. The pump appears to be about a foot and a half long with two pieces of solid wood. It is attached with a leather bellows type of apparatus between the wood.

On the top of the wood is a small stamped (burnt) submarine with the the letters KSL or KSI over the submarine with the year 1939 stamped above the submarine. On the foot action part of the wood is a 5 inch engraved SM on the pump. It appears as if there is a 2 inch metal intake with a screen on it and a small hole near the "toe" (where the wood from top and bottom meet) in which a hose may have been attached.

I am sorry for not attaching a picture but I just got it in the Luft Post and wanted to see if any of you know anything about it.

Thank You
David
