German Wehrmacht Blendkörper 2H Spare Tapered/Beveled Washer For Inner Tube Triangular Head.
I always have suspected this item, being a German item, should originally have two washers instead of only one. Only in a few pics of them you see the known washer at the inner tube neck sealing the joint inside the glass main body, but never saw a photo of the other washer that should be under the big bakelite cap sealing the triangular head of this inner tube against it. I just purchased a big lot of inner tubes and washers and I found two different ones:
-A both sides plain washer located at the neck of the inner tube.
-A two different sides washer, one plain and other tapered or beveled.
Then I saw it clearly as day light. This tapered/beveled washer has the same diameter of the raised ring inside the bakelite cover: Plain side goes against the bakelite cover and tapered/beveled side goes against the triangular head of the inner tube. Looking the photos you will understand better. The neck plain washer is many times missing, but the tapered/beveled washer I never saw it before, so I´m quite sure this one is missing on your BK2H. When you screw the bakelite lid you can feel this washer between the lid and inner glass tube head doing its job, great!!!! Price is for ONE washer.

An advanced collector from USA, Jason S. has sent me a photo of his BK2H with both original washers in place, first time I see it, so he is a lucky collector. See last photo, obviously only for reference and not part of the sale.
