Re: He 219 found in Denmark !!!
Hello Kim,
The thickness and more oval shape of the Spant as shown on your picture, suggests that this Spant was somewhere between Spant 31 and 33, leaving Spant 31a or 32 as the best options. See enclosed picture. The thickness of the recovered spant would be logical there, because it had to endure the forces of the empenage/tail section.
Cleaning of your Spant will show (I think) that it does not have that triangular ID plate (unfortunately!).
All the best, Marcel
