What is this?

Part A is an ammunition counter. It was used to see how many rounds were left. It was however only an indication as it is not an instrument which showed the exact ammount of shots fired. This ammo counter has a max of 500 rounds and was used for example in the Me 109 for the MG 131 13mm guns.
Part B is definitely a weaponssytem related item. The FL number is from the series for weapon systems. Perhaps the FF refers to the MG FF.
 
Ok, well...I think that instead of going to the UK (no offense to Terry, Gary, Karl and the gang) and cutting across Europe on my way to Bulgaria this summer, I'm going to hang out with Yedyny instead!! But I have a feeling Evan is going to beat me to it...lmao

Seriously though, that is a real treasure trove there in Poland and it would be awesome to just see the area where this supply depot must have been.
 
Fantastic finds again mate - would love to visit this place you're finding them! (I'll bring the beer Dave, you bring the sando's!)

Btw, seems you're not getting my e-mails for some reason, though they show as being sent my end. Will drop you a PM instead.
 
Do you know what type is this? Even the paper was around the glass.

Looks like the second glass from a Revi, the anti-glare, or sun shield glass, fitted at the front of the various models of Revi sights. It was mounted on a movable bracket, allowing it to be flipped into place when needed.
 
And another one, smaller - on the left. I can't say any more, because my friend sent me those photos, maybe soon I will check the numbers.

Part 1 is from aluminium, part 2 (airplane's window?) is very heavy, I think that somebody shoot there.
