Me 109 France July/August 1944

Hello

My father found this plaque during summer 1944 in Compiègne forest among that he believe a Me 109 parts.

http://www.hiboox.com/lang-fr/image....g=hcq4fi08.jpg

Two pilots of the 9/.JG1 were down in this area: Franz Koplik (8.2.1944) and Max Lau (8.5.1944). Is it possible to know if this plaque was a part of engine of one of them?

Best Regards

Must be the lid of a Graetzin Kraftstoff-Förderpumpe(fuel feed pump)for airplanes by Ehrich & Graetz factory, Berlin, license-fabricated by Süddeutsche Bremsen AG, München.

Could be part of a DB 605.

Hello

I agree and the plane would be a ME109 G6. It was this model for Koplik and Lau...

Regards
