What is this??? instrument ID

This is one of the strangest parts i have come across came out of a job lot. The case is made from wood. The face seems to be paper, the knob and needle turn. ill send £10 to the FIRST and only the FIRST to correctly identify it.:confused:

Yes, aileron could be english or french or whatever.
In German it would be “Querruder”.
So a position indicator for a trimmable aileron?

on the right track

I think your on the right track, I initially thought it was German because of the FL number but Herberk P pointed out the number isnt long enough plus the writing is a french spelling. It does not really look like a functional part but seems to well made to be a home made job plus its covered with part numbers, I think you could be on the right track , but its not fitted to any link trainer i have ever seen. I was hoping it was WWI??? not aware of any WWII instrumenst made of wood.:confused:
