seller says "RARE! WWII German Luftwaffe Me 109 Control Stick" ?

Re: Fw 190 A-8 W.Nr. 172974
 

Yes, but it is a Fw 190 stick.

If the seller does not know what it is, i would not trust the grip at all. That is my point.

Re: Fw 190 A-8 W.Nr. 172974
 

The grip is ok. It’s just missing its data plate. Otherwise, complete, original and nice condition.

Lost with I./JG 11 on July 17th 1944 in Normandy. Reported as MIA but could be POW.

Still missing the data plate and external wiring. The original sales price was ok, but imho it is not worth more than that as it is incomplete.

If coming from a crash (better a crash-landing), this is an amazing condition, without a scratch on the painted WNr...
