WW II German Aircraft - LOWER COWLING SKIN RELIC - Me109 E7 - w/ History - RARE

Description

You are bidding on an EXTREMELY RARE and 100% original example of a WW2 German Luftwaffe Lower Cowling Skin Relic!  This was recovered from a downed Messerschmitt Me109 E7 Aircraft that crashed over the Eastern Front.  I will provide the loss information to the winning bidder.
Made of aluminum and steel and originating from an Me109 E-7, this item is in VERY NICE relic condition!  It has been crushed due to impact, but it is quite solid otherwise.  Some pitting and corrosion, so it could use a bit of a clean-up.  Features traces of the original paint, and has a mount to attach a cowling latch.  Would make a SUPERB addition to any collection, display, or restoration project!
Please email me if you need additional photos or information.

------------------- TERMS OF SALE -----------------
Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage. I will describe each auction to the best of my knowledge and take as many photos necessary to ensure you are pleased upon receiving your item. All sales are final, so please make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you purchase.
------------------- ABOUT ME -----------------
Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
