What is this???

[Theodor]

Hi guys, what was this used for??? At one side has some kind of pump and a cap for oil, on the other side has a turning knob Aus - Zu. Marked dqp42H and WaA 37. From the handle on the side you an see the size. Seems a kind of pump. What was it used for? Thanks!

Ok lets try the other way:

Is it an air pump, or oil pump?

Who is the manufacturer dpq? I could not find this in the lists that I know. Do you know who this is, or have you seen these letters on other equipment?

Why is it year 42H? Not only 42, but 24H, what is the significance of that H?

Why is the WaA code A 37 - not only 37, but A 37???

I found the following entries for the number 37, but again - is 37 equal to A 37

-C.G. Haenel, Waffen und Fahrrad-Fabrik, Suhl, Th*******252;ringen (122) : (MP 38 :1940)
