In reply top Fw-190 panel on Ebay! posted by Joe Scheil on Mon Aug 26, 2002 03:32:12 PM
There's something more interesting in the description. The part is described as:
".....it was found in Kurland in a heap of parts from two shot down German fighter planes: FW-190 and Messershmidt - 109G, which were brought home by local peasants after the war."
I've seen other parts sold with a similar description and I'm starting to wonder just exactly how large this "heap of parts" is?
Over the last couple of years, I've seen some very interesting Ebay items as far as warbird parts. Mostly just cockpit items, but crash salvage items are showing up also. I've seen an FuG 16Z radio in remarkable condition and a Jumo 211 from a crash. Interesting, but then again, you're also competing with the "collector market" when trying to bid on them.
