G'day all,
Was hoping to consult the brains trust and get some clarification on some recent pieces I acquired in a bulk lot. I believe all were souvenired from buckinghamshire in the 40's.
I've tried looking for the BF-110 pieces and the data plate but nothing so far, and I have 0 clue what the braided wire could be, possibly a control surface? Axis or allied I'm not sure.

From
A first timer, any help or even a point in the right direction

would be much appreciated :)
Cheers

Welcome to the site. :wave:

The data plate is from the bottom front wing panel of a Bf 110C that was the accessing hatch to the fuel tank that was installed in the wing between the fuselage and the engine nacelle. The "L" letter in the Teil/Zeich. Nr. 8-110-58-20L indicates the "links" panel I mean the left one.
Here below the images of the left and right panels with marked the data plate location.

Yes, you got a Diploma level reply from Wurger!

If you note some of the points that can be seen from the two similar id plates:
The plates are similar, both being from a Gotha factory.
The aircraft type is marked as BF 110 C on the 1940, but just ME 110 on the 1942 plate.
Both have a Teil-Werk-nr that will have related to the Gotha contract/production.
Both then have a Teil/-zeich-nr that is the Messerschmitt part-number.

These numbers on id plates sometimes mislead, because you get the aircraft type listed on many plates for parts.

Lastly, the BA lozenge shaped stamp with the number is the Aviation industry Inspectors individual QA stamp to show the quality is approved. BA is the abbreviation for Abnahmestempel (Acceptance stamp).
