I just purchased this gas pump and was wondering if it would be accurate to use it in a dio of 1940 France during the German Invasion.
A picture of the pump can be found here https://www.modelmecca.com/cgi-bin/shop.pl?go=Search&partnumber=CD%206022

Thanks,

Andrew

That looks like a fine gas pump to me.
I think it would stand great in a french environment and I even think that AZUR is a french brand (but I`m not too sure about that see what internet brings up about AZUR)
my opinion is that you can definitely place this in a "invasion of france by the germans" dio

Really nice looking pump

Based on these links I think you're right in the ball park - I'd say you're fine. These links are pretty much US companies but I think the style is pretty similar though.
