I have recently acquired these parts that are supposed to have come from a WW1 Gotha GV bomber that was shot down.
The gauge is of the type that was fitted to a number of aeroplanes with watercooled engines, and would be attached to part of the engine as it is direct reading.
The label would appear to be for a fuelcock or possibly an aircock, but I can’t see one like it in the GV cockpit photo’s I’ve seen.
Can anyone please help to identify which type or types these parts are from ?.
