Original cast iron ‘sitting-weight’ for the Draeger Diving Apparatus. In interesting solution to put weights on a diver: where other manufacturers have most of the weight at the level of the divers chest, making the diver ‘top-heavy’ Draeger spread the weight by putting this weight as a seat between the divers legs where it was hanging on the jock-strap. This triangular shaped model appears at illustrations in the 1946 catalogue. Before and after a different, more rounded shaped Model was illustrated: the one shown here below ( Sitzgewicht 2 ) It may be that the design was temporarily changed during the second world war. Price 150 euro plus shipping
