Hawker, have heard of Rusky Mig grips being converted and sold as WW2 german grips which fetch more money. I guessed Russian as that is where it came from and the quality just isn’t quite the same as a German one. Richard, very interesting and nice it is dated it only cost me £30 quid so quite happy, Ian I agree with you, looks pretty much like a Yak 3 grip then. Will post the IL2 grip soon, cannot lay my hands on the bomb release button that I aquired seperately, it is a bit of a relic but at least is likely to have seen battle rather than a boxed spare part sitting on a shelf, although I wouldn’t turn it down given half the chance!

£30.. Wow (A find that like you say has been there…) Well done..

Always a great feeling when these finds turn up..but not often enough..
