Spitfire Grip

Hold on chaps ! – there is a novice here trying to hang on by the fingernails to the thread. Round buttons , anodised..? Does it look like a real Spitfire grip or not, ( or is it not that straight forward 🙁 ) Please advise as I am easily confused :confused:
My friend also has a Mk 11 reflector gunsight for sale. Due to his rather complicated circumstances he would prefer me to represent his interests , (that was a poor choice in the first place 😉 )

Please forgive my lack of knowledge in this area, but my area of expertise stretches to playing darts, dodging the taxman and his henchmen and collecting German militaria, from foreign shores , which led me here…

If the general opinion is that the item is 100% then I can proceed with getting it into the UK.

Your opinions are very gratefully received , and I would only ask that you restrict the words to 2 syllables so that can keep up !

Spitfire grip

Here is a picture of it. I have better pictures. Brake lever says J.D & S.B DP224
Whats the value as I have been asked to sell it for another person.:D

Its about 12 inches long. It has a rocker button. Its not a relic. It has a brake lever (?) and what appears to be two pipes/ cables running down from the top inside an alloy casting that flares out toward the bottom.

There is a brass bracket with a finger sized hole in it clamped to the lower part of the blade. The anti slip covering is all intact. It has some provenance.

Can you give me a ball park guide?

GERMAN AIRCRAFT PANEL FROM RUSSIA

HERES A BETTER PICTURE OF THE PANELS REVERSE SIDE – IT DIDN’T COME OUT OF A LAKE (BUT SOME OF HIs OTHER STUFF HAS..!) HE SAYS (roughly translated)

“This plane to fall close to the city of Pavlovsk. It approximately 15 Km. from Leningrad. After impact on the ground the planes scatter on many peices radius of about 100 metres. After war large parts have been collected to melt all. Now on this place only possible to find small peices. Old people to tell when they collected this scrap metal. This peice found this autumn”

Would live to know what its off – Anyone got a HE 111 they can lend me to look over !!! There is atrace of a black line on the painted side – may have been the edge of a number or insignia – and as such did it come off the side of the aircraft as opposed to the underside?
