Hello to all from Kenigsberg/Kaliningrad!
While I was searching with metal detector I found a piece from BF110 ( I will tell you that there is no plane I were there , but I found it near at old military airport)
I will try to poste a picture of the pice.
The info on it says:
Elektr. Vorratsgeber Bauarti Hartmann&Braun AG gerat-nr 127-1033A-2 Werk-Nr 0786 Anforderz. FI 20726- 41 Horsteller Otto Ramstetter Munchen B Flugzeug- Baumuster BF110 C Kontakte H RTIEF

### Conclusion:
You've found a rare artifact related to World War II aviation. This electric supply indicator was intended for use in the Messerschmitt Bf 110 aircraft, and was produced by a small German manufacturer in accordance with the standards set by Hartmann & Braun. The device holds historical value, particularly for collectors of aviation artifacts.


Where can I get some info about this plane, where it was, who was a pilot, the story of it?
Thank you

Welcome to the site.

Regarding the part you found ... it is not the electric supply indicator but the cover of a case of an electric supply sensor. A such devices were used for many German WW2 planes including the Bf 110. Also it could be fitted to Ju-88, Bf 109 ... etc. so not too rare item though . Below a couple of examples.

IMHO the device looked like that in the pic below ...

the pic source: the net.

Taking into the consideration the number of assembled Bf 110Cs and also the lack of any data on the plane, I doubt it can be possible to find a such particular info about the crew , the pilot's collar, shoe size and his life.

Thank you for your reply and pictures.

That info on the plate can't bring to identify a plane ?

No it can't if we talk about a particular plane. There is nothing that could help with that. Generally your kite has already been identified. It is the Bf 110C. The Gerät-Nr. is the device number , saying what it is, where it is used and its version. Thanks to that we may find out of what aircraft system the part comes from. The Werk-Nr is not the factory number actually but the divice serial. The Anforderz. FI number is the part one it was ordered/registerd by the receiver with. In other words , all the data is of the part only but not of the plane. These device was mounted in all planes of the type that is stamped in the line Flugzeug Baumuster (the aircraft type ). For the reason it can't be assiocited with any particular Bf 110C and especially with a pilot or the crew.
