Once in while, about 1 every year, can find a real gem on eBay!
Note sure if obvious by now to all, but I am on hunt for Do 17 images, but eyes out for parts.
Happened to come across this a month back.

Funny I did not jump on it right away even though I instantly recognized it, but was not long before I was making plans!
To be positive I did my research to confirm what it was, here are images from manual.

And saw these in Cosford Do 17,

and after restoration (my image of display case in Hendon, 2014)

I have looked and though about all other LW aircraft, and no other used this same brace. This is exclusively a Do 17 part.
Oh, wonder where?
The seller reported it was found at Gumrak, close to Volgograd.
Previously called Stalingrad. 🙂
While the RAFM piece looks good, note the end pieces, the knob and bearing are gone.
I plan to clean up mine, maybe use “dry ice” method posted in other thread. Goal to get brace screw adjusters working.
PS: will post image of it in my hands soon(tm)
Ok, this is it!
