Just wondering if anyone could help with the following control lever. I’ve had it for a while and I think it is the prop’ pitch control from the centre pedestal of a C-47/DC-3. I was wondering if the stampings can be deciphered by anyone on the forum and if they indicate civil or military manufacture? I don’t know if the green cockpit finish was applied to military versions (C-47) only or if it was also a feature of DC-3’s?
Regards,
Rob

C-47 prop pitch control lever
Rob,
You’re exactly right, it’s a “lever assembly, propellor pitch control, LH, inboard (as it states in the -4 parts manual!). Located in the upper section of the control pedestal.
Standard wartime produced part for the C-47 series in the original zinc chromate primer finish.
Hope this helps
