Cleaned as best as i could but couldnt see anything, if stamped would it be letters / numbers or a mark and on outside or inside to narrow area doen a bit. It is magnetic as it had a little magnet stuck to it when i found it, so someone looks to have been testing it?

Thanks i will get cleaning and see if anything there.👍

Many thanks i willclean it and have a look for a stamp, the previous chap said about the rivets being countersunk but when you look at pics of german planes they have the same almost domed rivets and what looked like hinged not sliding canopies.

Hi all Found this on a recent trip to germany and my thought is aircraft canopy due to the rivets and the angled end, but probably wishful thinking as always! I have put some measurements on to gauge the size. It had a little cylindrical magnet stuck on it so not sure if that is part of it or...

Hi Engineman Thank you for posting this, very much appreciated and had a notification you had posted. This is really useful and will be a great help. Have a great new year.

Hi all Found this lurking in my box of finds and thought it was just an old bolt, but then the "3a" marking caught my eye. I actually found this on an old WWII german airfield some time back now and am now wondering if that is a plane part, it may just be rubbish but the marking has me a little...

Hi General Was only assuming plane as found it on an old wwii luftwaffe airfield and subsequently it did look a pretty good match to the pic of that planes landing gear and the RLM65 colour chart kindly posted.That aside no idea what it is off, still hoping someone on here may have seen this...

Hi Graugeist, Many thanks for the colour chart, it does look like the colour seems to fall into the RLM65 range. This would seem to point to what U can see to it bring an underside part, it has the remains of a gasket and part of the face ofvthr piece it joined to. There is a pin / contact in...

The blue on here and the bit look similar, could it be part of the wheel hydraulic system?

Ok many thanks will have a look at oxygen systems and see if any of the parts look like this.

Hi all Been posting a few bits and pieces and the response on ere has been great, really appreciate the brilliant responses I have received. One of the last items I have is shown in the pics, it looks like it was originally that blue in colour that I have seen on the underside fo some...

I did find some actual fuzes themselves but not sure if these are safe to have so have eburied them at a spot i marked, was going to ask on here if these are ok to handle or whether they should be left alone, so as this has come up will ask now? Heres a pic of one of the the three. I noted the...

Hi Captain many thanks for the information, do you know if these caps are fitted to a plane or something else? Thanks again Mark

Hi all Found a few bits and pieces on a recent trip to Germany and slowly posting these up. On this occasion I found what I have managed to identify as an MV charging cap for a germanfuze, however that is all I have managed to establish. Does anyone know anything about the use of these caps...
