Re: Is this indeed a Hs 129 pilot's grip stick?

Hi again! The 'V60' marking is not a specific aircraft designation. V60 was a subsystem/electrical circuit identifier associated with grip functions (i.e., weapons firing, stores release, and communication (radio talk button)). V60 was commonly used for most if not all Fw 190 models (e.g., A, F, G series). Other aircraft used different 'V' numbers for comparable designation as marked on the grip. The Me 109 used V23, the Me 262 used V7, etc. The identifier was typically hand painted (as on the KG 14) or ink stamped on the grip body or on the wiring terminal cover.
