[Kjell]

One more question; I have an old american marine engine with a Bosch mag. BA 1ED-19
There are no name on it but two signs with the red flyer and one serie of numbers on each sida.
Can anyone here tell me more? Year? Plant? and so on please.

Danke! Thank You Christian!
The plant in Springfiield was built 1911-12? And occupied by USA in 1914? So its made between those years?

Hello

Production of the BA1 magneto in Germany started in 1914. I don´t think the American made magneto was manufactured before ther German Version. So it will be 1914 or later.
