hi there,
i have probably the same part as you - i can't read the number after dash, cause it's scratched off. it comes from a german fighter - i'm almost sure that it's fw190 (there was 13mm mg131 gun found there as well
+ loads of 13mm and 20mm bullets).anyway the part is pretty badly bent,the color is dark red (metallic),it all looks like a button and has a word "Bauart" and Siemens logo on top of it - design indicates that it comes from the cockpit...
well, i know that the a/m post is almost as old as the parts we have - anyway the topic is surely worth of continuing - please post some site addresses or anything that can help to know more...
plane's remains were found 2 days ago, somewhere in western poland, which indicates, the plane was shot down by the soviet forces in the beginning of 1945... we are really happy about that

there's a page with a lot of really nicely arranged tables with luftwaffe parts codes, descriptions and pictures:

if it makes a difference
the page is in german language. i checked the part number - nothing in there...
with best regards.
