Re: Mystery Aircraft Part?

British landing Gear? - Could very well be?

Alright I will come clean & say that I bought this Part some Years ago as it was stated as coming from the Crash Site of Hawker Hurricane P2805 which was an Aircraft of No 1 Squadron - shot down on 19th May 1940 - Chateau Thierry Area - one of Paul Richeys Hurricanes in the Battle of France.
This may be a complete Lemon of course as there was no proof as such only the sellers word but being very interested in No 1 Squadron I had to have!
It was stated in his book that he forced landed this Aircraft into a field but other Articles say that he baled out? - I think that I remember viewing a web-site about one of his Hurricanes being excavated at a site in France - Not sure if it was this one though?

Just thought that I could maybe get some more Information from the Numbers stamped on it?
Could very well be Undercarriage related -I thought that it may be some Part from the SU Carb?

Any more Ideas?
