Curieuse machine, en particulier la traverse horizontale au dessus de la lame. Quelle epoque? XIX eme siecle? Il semble y avoir des restants d'un sac/panier de reception du cote ou tombe la tete?

The guillotine was used till 1813 by french Justice Tribunal in Dillenburg(Germany)
and bought for only 10 marks (by German National Museum) in 1881.
The machine is not complete:Hauling mechanism and the part of base disappeared....

Not a bad price for damaged goods. I wonder what 10RM was worth in $ or Francs in 1881? Another fine discovery Piotr ! Bravo !!! Merci !!!

And the blade seems to be missing too, isn't it?

I don't know,there is no information in german text about the blade .
We have to wait for "Boisdejustice" and (as usually) for his perfect opinion and commentary

"There is evidence that refutes the assumption that Anatole Deibler installed the wheels onto mouton.They were in fact in place as early as 1813.A guillotine complete with a wheeled mouton acompanied Napoleon's army to Germany.The machine now resides in the Nuremburg museum but is not on display"

Interesting : it is a scoop! Are we certain that this machine goes back to 1813?

Verurteilten gebunden wurden, rekonstruiert; Zugseil und Unterbau

Das Germanische Nationalmuseum erwarb 1881 für seine

Verstanden. Danke schon.

Non - Regardez par terre entre les montants... La lame est simplement demontee pour des raisons de surete mais elle repose sur le sol entre les montants.
