During a recent clear out I came across this spade grip. My first thought was to toss it into the bin with all the other rubbish, as its been lying around for what seems an eternity and I have no idea what type of aircraft it was fitted to! I’m reasonably sure its of U.S origin as it has ANA together with 73-61044 on its reverse. Its design is similar to the Dunlop patented grip, but it does not have a brake lever fitted, which would also indicate an american aircraft. Apart from that i know nothing else…..any ideas out there? or should i have binned it in the first place:)

I say Ben £2,300- a very exact valuation, and a very generous one as well I might add!
