Please Help! Fw-190 1JG54

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this site. I'm having a very difficult time finding information on a piece of a FW-190 I have. I bought this piece of a FW-190 from a guy, who claims it was found in a wreck in Latvia. This is the only info he gave me, and I can't find anything on line.

The 190 crashed in August 1944 (between the 7th and 18th), flying alone and
trailing smoke. He was flying to the direction of Cesis (Wenden), which was
near a JG54 airfield.

Eyewitness say that this was the only airplane seen that day. They saw the
smoke trailing the aircraft.and she flew alone (no Russian or other German
aircraft were in the area). Suspected it was downed by anti-aircraft fire.
She flew in a North-West direction, straight toward Cesis (Wenden), then
turned 180 degrees and crashed. The wreck was found just east of Ergli,
Latvia.

The only recorded loss we know in this area is that of Horst Adameit from
1/JG54, as it matches the direction, battle, time and distance. However, it
was equipped with the FuG16, MG151's and Mg131's.which is normal for an
A-7/A-8.while Horst's was an A-5 (W. Nr. 155960). Also props were of the
later type.

Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.
