Thanks,

C-47/DC-3 by the look of it. Think I have one in my collection somewhere.

Control wheel ID

I can confirm that it’s a DC-3 / C-47 control wheel (part number 5117125)- will fit both pilot & co-pilots side of the control column. The worn area on the upper right arm is from a post-war mounting bracket for a microphone switch.
