I recently bought this ‘Russian Front Relic’ with no identification from the seller other than that location.
After some research, I think it is a JU88 Engine Cowling Latch, (from one fitted with Jumo 211 Engines).
I’ve found a near identical item on your Forums, (which was a great help thankyou), but noticed my latch has no stamped numbering or other markings.
Also I found it intriguing the paintwork still has AUF/ZU clearly marked and the fact that a Tan camo paint has been applied over the Duck egg Blue under body colour?
Please can you shed any light on this Relic as any details would be greatly appreciated.
