Hi,

No idea what the 23 is. The 42 is for 1942, and aqd is the German manufacturer's id code. I haven't got my lists to hand but maybe someone else has!

If the Dornier crashed some time in 1942 onwards this piece could be related to it.

Regards,

David

Pawlas lists aqd as "Radium-Gummiwerke m.b.h. Köln-Dellbrück, Grafenmühlenweg 109.
