WW2 German Luftwaffe Aircraft – DAIMLER-BENZ DB605 INLET VALVE – Me109 – NICE!

You are bidding on a SUPERB relic example of a WW2 German Luftwaffe Inlet Valve (Einlassventil), as used ONLY on the DB605 series engine! This originates from the wreck of an Me109 lost over the Eastern Front, however, I do not have any specific history.The Daimler-Benz DB 605 is a German aircraft engine, built during World War II. Developed from the DB 601, the DB 605 was used from 1942 to 1945 in the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter, and the Bf 110 and Me 210C heavy fighters. The DB 610, a coupled 'power system' powerplant comprising a pair of side-by-side configured examples of the DB 605, geared together in the front to turn a single output shaft — and which, like the similar DB 606 that it replaced, weighed 1,515 kg — was used in the A-3 and all A-5 variants of Germany's only operational heavy bomber, the Heinkel He 177A.License-built versions of the DB 605 were used in the Macchi C.205, Fiat G.55, Reggiane 2005 and some other Italian aircraft. It was also initially used in the pusher-design Swedish Saab J21. Approximately 42,400 DB 605s of all kinds were built.Made of steel, this valve is in EXCELLENT relic condition. Though there is some slight corrosion, damage, and bends, it is still VERY solid! Comes complete with part of the original casing attached. I have indicated it's location in the last photo. Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!
